Visitor

And that Toby chap is coming from England to see me and his mum today

He rode down on his motorcycle.....

Just lordy. First of all Toby was late because he had "dropped" his bike. Aargh, crashed? Fell off? Aargh, they are so scary and dangerous..... No, he had been standing next to his bike, parking it at Julia's and had literally dropped it. Apparently he has never fallen off so .......

Anyway we popped to the pub in the evening and Toby bought me some pints, he has a job now, he is a grownup

AND my staff were talking to each other s'morning and commented on how the
conversation with Toby just went. There was no awkwardness, no 'what shall I
say', it just went. Which is well different than "last year"
