This arrived from my father-in-law yesterday: The suspect is definitely on the mend, with the medical team talking of a release into the tender mercy of her husband this coming week-end. Improved life signs include normal insatiable curiosity about other patients on the ward (sociological background, what the Polish girl thinks of working in MacDonalds in Tallaght etc) [see men do marry women like their mothers]. On balance this is a good sign. How small Dublin is – I was accosted in the supermarket today by a hill-running guy who is involved in mountain rescue to find him asking me “how is your wife?”. Apparently he was on call on the day in question and would have plodded up into the hills had not the helicopter boys scooped the pool
beforehand.”

Etiquette
The Dutch Mama came to stay last night. Just for one night and she brought the Princess a present. The Princess was so pleased that she took off all her clothes and ran around naked. A new phase perhaps? I have just realised that I never take kiddie presents when I go to stay with people. I will reform. The Dutch Mama also brought loads of gear for the twins because she is kind and good. To my deep regret, I opened it in the presence of the Princess who spent some time trying futilely to get into a 0-3 months babygro (MINE, MINE). She’s going to be so delighted when these babies are born.

Oh dear – the royal nose is going to be put out of joint. Poor princess.

Yes, Loc, I’m hoping she’ll grow out of it, apparently her uncle was a great stripper when a toddler and he seems to have grown out of it.
Yes, Norah, I’m terrified. 0
