@new knee in June Hi Diana, good to hear from you. The photo of you knee deep in snow with a glass of wine in your hand made me laugh. Woman, you should be indoors stoking the fire. And what next - Two Jobs!! That must take some doing. Loving me for ever and always is a long time. You gotta look after yourself or I will be all alone Promise me that you will take good care of yourself and not overdo things.
THE wedding will happen April/May time - currently awaiting my decree absolute. Mike and I are both struggling over the marriage vows. I mean what does one say after 20 odd years of co-habitting. (me) I promise not to rant when you leave the loo seat up; (Mike) I promise to remain cool when you move my stuff without telling me. Anyways I'll be sure to send you a couple of photos. I'm going to send some to the taxman too saying `this is all your doing'.
On the matter of my knee (I've forgotten its name!!) I am currently having acupuncture. You can't get it on the national health service. It costs £30 a session and you have to have a minimum of 3 sessions to see if it helps. I've had 2 sessions, and it hasn't helped. Next I will be advised to go outdoors at midnight and dance naked. They will advise a minimum of 4 sessions to see if it helps - at £40 a pop. Do you think the medical profession is having a laugh AT MY EXPENSE??
The thing that has my attention at the moment is how best to spend the rest of our lives. Mike has agreed to sit down with me and give this serious thought. Mike has worked that long he doesn't know how to stop. I reckon at best we have another 20 years. It would be a crying shame were we to waste them. I am taking it deadly seriously. I'll come to the meeting with flipchart and coloured pens. I plan to start by brainstorming - writing down all the options open to us no matter how crazy, then begin to fine tune. As a starter we are going to Spain in May. We have a few villas to look at for long term rental. We haven't got a lot of money to spend, so it may come to nothing - ie, what we can afford is not acceptable and what is acceptable we can't afford. But its a start.
Anyways my lovely friend from far far away I will stop now before you lose the will to live. Drop me a line now and then. I'd be interested to hear what the new job is and what you are up to.

ps: if you are still on Wally's books you are doing well. I'm not.
But he always favoured you. Of course it was the vegetable jokes - he couldn't get enough of them. Insatiable. He used to say `its the way she tells them. It does it for me every time'.
