Service providers still calling. A nice chap from Sky called. He was offering a very competitive deal on their ‘Sky Plus’ package, which sounded too good to miss. They’ll be round to install it next week. Carrie did our weekly shop at Somerfield and made use of the free home delivery service they offer when you spend £25 or more. In the evening, Cummings dropped in unexpectedly to show me the Nintendo DS he’d bought on e-bay, and told me to handle it carefully because the stylus could easily scratch the screen. He said he wouldn’t stay, because he said he didn’t like the smell of new paint, and fell over our ornamental urn on the way out. Must move the urn round to the back garden, or else I’ll earn the disapproval of visitors. I don’t often make jokes.
Our good friend Cummings

Why shouldn’t
I publish
my diary?
I often see memoirs by people I’ve never even heard of and I don’t see why my diary should be any less interesting, just because I’m not a ‘celebrity’. I only wish I’d started it when I was younger.
