Hi Munch

Mwah mwah indeed

.

I don't remember you getting a Conduct? I love. to think that your mother thought it was some minor sin of omission...

I've posted about this somewhere else - it was Guy Fawkes Night and a few of us were lobbing indoor fireworks (a little like large matches, and quite harmless) at 7s. DR got the wrong end of the stick, and thought that we were sitting on the outside windowsills (as opposed to the fire escape, with our feet firmly on the metal platform). Quite mad: I have always been way to much of a scaredy cat to do such a thing. I think that we got the Conduct for supposedly endangering our lives :-0.

I do believe that somewhere I've got loads of photos of Richard Atkins events. I'll try to find them!

I would love to see them, and will try to remember to bring mine in tomorrow for scanning (my daughter has appropriate my printer/scanner, so I have to rely on the one at Uni).

Would I be right in thinking you lived in New Park Road?

Yes, in the council flats opposite the shops.

It's really lovely to talk to you again!

Yes, and for me to talk to you too. Killer hills and compost! What are you up to these days?

Love

Caroline

I bet he can sew, knit and iron, though I do believe I can iron a shirt better (but also slower) than just about anybody in the whole wide world

This thread is becoming like Womans Hour !

YES !!!!

I can sew. (we had to sew on our own buttons at CH. I bet they don't have too now !)

YES !!!!

I can iron

NO !!!!

I can't knit. (That's getting a bit too pooofy !)

I didn't get married so that I'd have to iron and sew !

A very apt description of a secretary comes to mind.

"A Secretary is a device found in an office and works best when screwed hard onto the office desk !"

(Anyone seen my coat ??)

I once saw a tortoise who had fallen in love with a small football and tried to mount it but the ball kept rolling away so the poor tortoise just kept on walking along on his hind legs following the ball all over the garden

It was hilarious but a little tragic as we knew he would never get his way and he would not give up

It was a bit like an allegory of the human condition

Didn't Flanders and Swan have a song about a lovesick armadillo ton Salisbury Plain that fell in love with a tank?

Donald Swann used to live in the house next door to me
The song does sounds likely to be a Flanders and Swann composition
