For some reason, the blog was updated so I think I must've exceeded the number of words required but will make more sense if you read update below first.
Tim and Deidre - they have moved into Harrogate and love the place and now go for coffee at Betty's! They live right in the center next to the Majestic Hotel which had a fire last week I was on the television .
They've invited us over as they have a guest room and Angelo will have to visit as Harrogate is a great place and they are good hosts.
as I said, Clare has returned to Dublin to the same job and is now settled down again although she was a little depressed after finishing with her German boyfriend.
JP was doing some local work but had been interviewed for a permanent position with a law firm in Leeds. He has been working in Manchester. I hope he settles down as T&D need a more tranquil life.
Dick - I have not been able to play golf for some time as them a little too unsteady with my blood pressure - however we meet in Tuesday evenings at the cavalry for a drink and on Wednesday lunchtime go to the New Inn.
He is down in London at the moment as the family are giving him a 70th birthday party - they are all coming over to Liz's place in Putney including the three or four grandchildren and they are sleep cheek by jowl. He puts a brave face on it and they're going to a concert of a very famous Chinese pianist at the Albert Hall. You will know the lad as I think he is played for Obama. Pippa is over from Prague but unfortunately her marriage has become unstuck although she's staying there with her two children and has a part-time IT job. Her husband's grandparents are fantastic. Liza is pregnant again and he even get e-mails sequentially of her ultrasonic scan! He says the size of the files of such the other clogging his computer as he is reluctant to delete.
Your mother sat on the coffee table in the lounge and as you can imagine there was a splintering sound - well Dick has been around to repair - your mother thinks he looks like Mr. Pickwick with a florid complexion - we gave him a nice bottle of wine.
James - he telephoned a couple of times this week - once for medical query for a case and also inviting us for Sunday lunch but we are down the kilham.
It is Bank holiday weekend next time we invited them to come over here but they are going on a camping holiday to the Lake District. I think this is a bit of a misnomer as they're not in a tent but I think in a wooden hut. Last time they went with Turner but this time they are alone. Philippa went around recently and took some shirts I had bought for him which were well appreciated and a navy blue suit. These all came from the gentleman's dresser in Driffield - but I was discreetly told that he has a wardrobe full and not only that, but the jacket was a size 42 for Chris with small trousers so I hope I haven't given Chris a mismatch also.
Hospital - I have an appointment on June 1 to see a colleague - he telephoned me at home to discuss the problems as I obviously know him very well. He was a bit noncommittal about traveling to Ottawa but I will inform the insurers and pay a small premium to cover. Your mother has a melanoma on her back and a seeing a plastic surgeon in Bradford on November 10.
London- we going to Queen's quay on Wednesday, June 2 for eight days by car. I bought a new LED television and the HDMI plug does not work to run the Blu-Ray/have to send back to John Lewis and also to get the floor re-stained. Your mother has bought a number of small presents for Aiden and Aoefe so we hope to see them as it is now a long time since Christmas.
We are going to book into some of the good restaurants as there are great deals at the moment. We've been to the Ritz last time and this time we are going to the Waldorf or Claridges.
Sunday morning and once again is going to be 80° but we again to stay in the garden as Bridlington will be heaving and we have the rest of the week.
Your mother is eternally happy - whether going to Bolton to have a meal with Phillipa as we do weekly or coming to kilham then to London and she cannot wait to travel to Ottawa - she reads the temperature every day from the telegraph and apparently you have also been having a heat wave.
Must finish
love dad
your mother is watching the TV - the obsession now is with animal programs which is a change from cookery and then property.
