My clever Daddy helped make two very clever daughters! One being rather taller and thinner than the other gave her the name of beanpole when growing up. I, on the other hand, was called Specky – poor me! Never mind, I got my own back when I passed an IQ test and got called Mensa – poor Rachie had a spoonerism beginning with D.

Now Tony, let us know when you need more Parsnip crisps!!

Best Tony,

I am your alienated expatriate acquaintance.
I am stunned to learn that you are now bound by wedlock, you rascal, you !
From my favorite political antagonist QGS I’ve heard that you recently
changed employers. That means nothing in the light of all the other changes
in your life.

I remember being thoroughly depressed when I hit 30 – what I consider
to be my true “halfway mark”. Such a contrast with my 35th anniversary
two weeks ago, which was righteously uneventful and disturbed me not at all.
Let’s hope that this big 3 felt different for you. Drop me a mail if you ever
experience a dull moment in the next decade, okay ?

Dear Tony

I am your father-in-law’s sister. I am pleased to see he has received universal fame at last. Love to you and Rachel.
Ruth
