Phone call from fir just now
Fir: 'Smalley, I've done something a bit silly'
Lir: 'uhuh?'
Fir: ' yes, well, I've come to work without any trousers. Do you think I should buy some?
Lir: 'uhuh' ( affirmative)
Fir. ' yes, I thought I should. So I'm in gap.
Lir ( in no trousers )
Fir, well, yes, I've bought pants already.
Lir, mildly alarmed now, Boss, what about the suit in your office
Fir, oh, I I don't want to wear that
Lir. (Really rather concerned that for might be in gap in the city in newly bought pants, and what he was wearing until then....) Boss......did you go to the gym this morning
Fir...yes, yes, I'm wearing my shorts. And a shirt of course.
He then started talking about trousers the colour of Battenberg cake in the gap, for a tenner, with great excitement.
Somewhere, in the city there is a man wearing swimming trunks ( which he pretends are gym shorts because they are ' more jolly' and a shirt, possibly with cufflinks. Prey to god he left his bag of cheese somewhere.0 -

Progress so far on garden
( I now have I tiny bit of terrace, see? Left hand corner? Not allowed to walk on it yet though. Taking a very long time)
Reward is moving on to the results chapters
Got a quick email back from supervisor with a couple of hot off the press references, so at least he knows I'm trying at the moment.
And he didn't say - thanks for the chapter, but don't bother with the rest
(I didn't ask btw!)
Terrace looks lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing all the changes when I'm allowed to come and visit you

Only NDG, chewy and michaels are close enough. NDG's hands are full, I'm not sure michaels is up to it ( after the car packing and leaving on time example) and I think chewy would probably keep a safe distance while cheering DH on.0

I would if I could - and in normal circumstances, I'm very close to FIR's workplace.
But right now I'm 60 miles away, in mid-Kent. Sorry........much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
