I don't get out much, nowadays, you know.<BR/><BR/>My sons' good points tend to come from my side of the family and the not so good ones come from my husband's. Nothing is my fault, either. It's my husband's.<BR/><BR/>Judging from your remarks about your friend's attire, it sounds suspiciously as if gingham is 'in', this season. I'm so glad I saved my old school frock.

Now have an indellible image of your gingham friend printed on my brain - I am partial to a bit of gingham myself now and again, albeit only on French bistrot tablecloths and perhaps the odd padded noticeboard (in a pastel colour, mind).

Ahh! The very act of writing it! What a catharsis! GOT TO GO!!!!!!! Still doesn't help me with brb..... BE RIGHT BACK??? Am I right? Do I win the M txtspk mdl? But, by the time you've worked it out you could have written the whole thing anyway. <BR/><BR/>Not that you can do text speak on my phone - you write 'g' and then it gives you an encycloepaedic choice of words. 'g' - gargantuan? it asks hopefully and helpfully - so I just have to spell everything thing out or I may find myself having bought a gargantuan time share villa in Crete without the option. Besides I hate mucking about with words just in case the eggcupful of brain that controls this sort of thing blows up and I can never write a letter again. Alternatively I might be condemened to a diet of gazpacho in penance.<BR/>And I hate cold soup - of any variety whatsoever - ditto cold rice dish-thingies that look as though they should be hot but aren't. Hideous disappointment at buffet lunches.<BR/><BR/>Hasta la visita, baby.
