You will all be mightily relieved, I’m sure, to know that we survived the weekend with Annabelle and have just about recovered from the exertions. She was good as gold and, of course, we had a marvellous time. She was a bit unsettled the first night and ended up in our bed with Penny – I was relegated to one of the spare bedrooms which was, I gather, just as well as Pen says she squirmed and wriggled all night.

This came from Dad.

“It’s quite easy, sir” says the student. “You see, you are 75 years old and married to a 30 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 22 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. And your wife’s lover failed his exam but you’ve just given him an “A”, which is neither logical nor legal !!” Continue reading “31 August 2014 – Amusements”
