Your life does seems a  little complicated. I prefer the quiet life these days though I've started to play golf. Do you play?

So how long is your Dad staying? He said you'd asked him to come and help out since you were so swamped with all that's going on. Not sure I'd want my dad with me, cramping my style. You're not even married!

I don't think that England's changed that much. Different government but even that turned out to be less of a change than we thought. Probably best. Everything looks like the seventies again to me. I haven't watched Blue Peter in years but we went to a friend's house and they had European satellite. He wanted us to watch this Italian game show and I thought, this is stupid why watch a game show in Italian?  Then these contestants started to dance and they stripped! I was gobstruck. You wouldn't see that on the BBC, would you? Caroline didn't like it so we went home.

What was the States like? Fairly women's lib over there isn't it? We get to see a lot of the States really, with the President and all and I remember all those shows when we were young, Dallas and Dukes of Hazard. Did you work around there?

Looking forward to seeing you,
Phil
