********** Here, look at this one. See my boots? They were new that day. Id never had a pair of fiendish-pointy, knee-high, stiletto boots before and I was all excited, so I had to wear them straight away. What I didnt realise was that between leaving my flat and returning from the pub, it was going to snow quite that much. Thats the reason Im hanging on to Ally for dear life. Very pathetic, but I didnt think I was going to make it from the car to the front step without assistance. If you look closely, you can see Rich in the drivers seat. I think hes smirking. ********** Dear Sinister, Its been a while. Ive been in Glasgow a year. Can you believe it? Im not sure I can. My grandparents are still asking how long I think Ill stay here for before returning to the fond embrace of the South East. They havent got the message yet. I have a proper job, one that I really like. Years of unhappy employment have taught me this is a rare thing, so Im making the most of it. My office has a big window across one side of it, looking north across the hills. The sun is shining on the snowy fields and its beautiful, like a Christmas card. Really. Weve had to turn the lights off because there was such a dazzle coming from outside. I run into Stacey in the refectory now and again. People are friendly. Somebody gave me a penguin this morning (a chocolate one). These Good Things and many more conspire to make life just peachy at the moment. ********** Heres another. Oh dear, our faces are a bit pink, arent they? Yes, we had been drinking. Thats Lara on the left. Shes Irish. In the middle you might recognise Kirsten from Wisconsin, and I'm the one on the left. Three furrin girls in the West Highlands for Hogmanay. The reason were applauding ourselves is that weve just done a fairly successful impression of the Temptations by spinning round unison. It took a bit of practice, but luckily the photographer didnt capture anyone falling over or bumping into things. That time we got it right. ********** Its the Winchester Club again this Friday. Can you come? Oh, go on, do! Sons & Daughters were meant to be playing, but had to pull out at the last minute, but they say theyll play for us soon, so were not cross. Besides, were having a DJ Spectacular instead! Five DJs with an hour each to make you move your dancing feet.
