1. Remember me - the title of his book. The book I believe to be autobiographical. I wonder as I listen to him - 'is he now comfortable in his own shoes' Has he expunged the past by writing the book and laid his ghosts to rest. Melvyn Bragg, the calm and level personality, haunted by many demons. His drive and motivation to succeed in the television and writing world destroyed the family relationships. Those relationships which were dear to him. Some sentences should have been underlined. To refer to them again would be good.
2. We watched the History Boys last night. I have read the play but never seen it performed. The film was watchable. A couple of re-runs would be good to listen to the poetry and language of the script.
3. The party went well. Isaac enjoyed his first piece of chocolate cake. The other young lad had a bike for his birthday; he will be three tomorrow. The father was determined to have his stablisers off before he had chance to get used to them. The young lad was keen for me to push him around rather than his Dad. I wonder why.
4. The colleagues seem aimiable and are among the expatriot community which move from country to country every few years. Their challenge always to effect change wherever they go, whether it is desired or not.
5. A text wrung out from Mandi described Dad as not good. They had managed to get him out of bed and into a chair with a hoist. She is to visit tonight and I hope she will report or else I shall have to ask once more.
6. I wish you a good bike ride tomorrow with fine weather to accompany it. Did you go to Future Cycles Barbecue? I take it you did not ride with Forest Row today as you spoke of a chopping down, which I assume lasted most of the day.
Looking towards the return
