I'm nursing a headache the size of Corfu my stomach is tied up in knots, it's the seventeenth time that I've been to the loo feeling sick with a dose of the trots. My memory's blank as to how I behaved but from texts on my phone I can see that Doreen who I met said 'yes' when I proposed (she's retired now, and seventy three). I lie on the bed still in suit and loud tie no effort to climb in the bedding, my backache tells me as the evening went by I danced like Grandads at a wedding. A bad move to mix all those drinks, that's for sure, I think I may have crossed the line, there's a photocopy on the floor by the door and I'd swear that those buttocks are mine.

Sounds real to me. Happy Christmas Viv. Nearly Midnight so our big day over here. Good luck with yours tomorrow our time. Another big day on the first. The day the world first felt my presence.
