Had a lovelty walk yesterday with my two old chums from Shrawley, M and N, I took them all over the fields, confused them, and dazzled them with my knowledge of directions, and knowing where I am after 2 years of being here. This is what I do, walking the dog is a lot easier and cheaper than learning the saxophone.

Another thing I learnt was that N’s parents had a parrot which died just recently aged 51!!, the same age as N, well that fact floored me andf during the kitchen table discussion as M was concerned about the Bob Dog escxaping I was being like a heckler and doubting the Avian tale, how little I know.
