Hello. Liam and Frea tell me you submitted an article to a charity and got an instant offer of six months work! Go girl; shows it is out there, too. Liam and Ian, and Frea, Andy and Oz came for Sunday lunch just the other day. I didn’t think we’d have enough food: there was more than enough for you and Kai too; your presences were missed. See you not soon enough.
