Television and Measures

1 The television has been taken along with the stand and the bits. Happy viewing, Andrea.

2 And here are the measurements. Chest 980mm; waist 970; outside leg 980; inside leg 780; across the shoulders 570; arm - from the shoulder to the beginning of a shirt cuff 595, cuff itself 60; total 655; length of a jacket from under my arm to the bottom of the jacket 510.

2.1 See what the tailor makes of these measurements. If anything looks seriously awry, then let me know. Give me the tailor's e-mail and an order number or name and I'll send the revised measures direct to the tailor.

3 SSAFA continues. There will be a brief call at 1200. There will be a longer call, in company with a colleague, on a woman who had fled from a violent husband. Then: kindling for the fire (as I have the logs); some food; Chartham Park, and a fire and a book and music for the evening.

3.1 Doug sends his best wishes. He delivered some presents yesterday evening. He called just as Any Questions had begun . We chatted .... for two-and-a-half hours.

4 You're settling (have settled) in to local rhythms. Enjoy the company.

5 Kabul. I have a sense of London as being about 12 miles by 12. If we allow London to be something like 150 square miles, then Kabul is about 10% of the extent. Keep an ear out for interesting stuff.

6 Later today, I will put out your black wheeled bin.

Stayathome.
