On the subject of kissing:

If you have a beard, take a moment to shave it off. Remember that girls don't enjoy kissing beards, because it's like having a badger reversing into you.

There's another 15 minutes of similar advice, available free from Radio 4 on the net ...

Your mail is bouncing, by the way.

Remember how every so often I ask if you would be able to collect something from Ikea, and we never get as far as practical details? Well, the first time, I think you said it should fit in Minebringer, which then went on holiday to the workshop for a while. This link should, with a bit of luck, bring you to the correct item on their website, and a link to details of size and weight of the package are in the grey box.

If you can grab two of these for me (two should fit under the window, which would make a convenient seat), I'd be ever so grateful and there can be rejigging of storage and space made for a heater.

If you give me your bank details, I'll put the money in your account (through the magic of First Direct phone banking), or hand over a cheque when I see you next. Dinner on us may also be on offer, if you want to come over some evening between now and us going away in early Sept.

Actually, do you fancy going punting on Sunday? The family organises a trip to Cambridge every year, where picnics are eaten at Granchester. Before you fear being stuck in a punt with my redoubtable mother, it's with three or four contemporaries of my pa, and assorted hangers on (aka family and the odd friend of family member). Anyway, I think you'd probably enjoy it. If you don't yet punt, you'll be taught.

Thanks, hon.

[grin] Due to bouncing mail, I didn't know you'd put this comment on ... Sorry about that! It was Lycos, who don't include the contents of your trash folder in your quota as shown on screen, but seem to include it when it working out mail bounces. And the trash doesn't empty itself, but, not being shown, I thought it did. So that bit was my fault - although I wasn't sure why it was bouncing with 10% headroom ...

Anyway, should be able to manage the IKEA trip - either Friday evening, or at the weekend. Are you guys going to be around at the weekend? Actually, should be able to borrow the Maternal Skoda, which will solve any carriage problems.
