Tuesday afternoon

July continues to be dull. Andy Murray has just completed the match started yesterday afternoon, rained off at 2 - 0 then interrupted twice by rain after restarting today. George and Ann collected the leather armchair yesterday and we went for lunch at Loch Fyne afterwards. Later in the day I had a phone call from Mike Reith, the vicar from William Ford School in Dagenham, he passed on good wishes from all the staff there, which was comforting. This morning I had a newsy e-mail from the adviser at my last school, Eleanor, updating me on the year end results which look set to exceed targets for the first time in 5 years. Oops! Dropped off for a few minutes, there!
