A celebration

1 I've e-mailed you the front page from the BBC Homepage. Pells Pools has made it to the national electronic news. This year will be the 150th anniversary of the pool. It's time you were back, so that you and the man with the back can no longer hold back but, ignoring all backs, can stand at the back of the pool so that, together, with no backsliding, they can slide into the pool and then, each backing the other, swim without a backward glance towards the wall which almost backs onto the playground.

2 June has been round to give me a statement of our account, a document which, when complemented by my passport, will be sufficient to convince at least one of the staff in the Cooperative bank to give me an up-to-date statement of the EGDCU account.

2.1 She has been preparing for your return. Your agreement, long ago, before your child- and family-caring overseas duty, to undertake a reconciliation tomorrow evening, should be a relatively easy one to discharge. June took her place in the office yesterday, and she will be in place again today.

3 I attended the ConChort Big Band concert, in aid of the RBL, in Chequer Mead yesterday evening. Alas, the playing had scarcely started when I sensed that the music and the songs were not to be my taste, a sense that developed to the point of certainty well before the intermission, at which time I left.

Looking forward to greeting you tomorrow.

Well you are not backwards to coming forwards. Oh to swim, oh to swim I could swim across the water if only I could remember what to do.

June and I have been in contact and devised our plans for the finale and maybe even a celebration.

I have had my last washin and soon it will the last cook-in. The chef will be able to hang up her pinny and retire.

I have congratulated David early on his birthday just in case travel gets in the way tomorrow. I see he is off to the Isle of Man.

Looking forward to flying home

I shall look forward to talking to someone. Definitely do not want to be a nun in a silent order. I need to listen to speak and to speak

1 I wonder if you remember Devil's Island, a penal settlement in what used to be (or maybe still is) French Guinea.

2 In one of the prisons, there was a No speaking rule. A harsh rule for anyone, particularly harsh perhaps for a Frenchman.
