You're welcome. It was great to see you again. Popping down to The Idiot for a pint of Monk before dinner almost felt like the old days. The next day felt worse though, I think we're getting older!

Dad told Ann I went to London to see Jackie. How the old goat knew is beyond me. I said that I had real business there (which I did), and that all that happened was that I had a drink with an old friend at lunchtime. You're married but you still have friends, right? Actually it was fun to see Jackie.  The house, money and everything has been quite stressful. I really care for Ann, I want to stay with her and I wouldn't do anything to muck that up, but Jackie is Jackie and we had a laugh which has been in short supply here! She wants to visit but I put her off.

I may think about playing a game for the Puckering cricket team. I talked to someone in the village the other day  and he sounded quite intrigued by my slow left arm spinners. Of course it's been a while, but I think I could still turn my arm.

Say hi to Caroline. It was good to see you both. Her hair looks good like that.
