I saw Print Room Jenny yesterday, for the first time in years - though, of course, I see Shirley most weeks.

Paul Thomas retired yesterday after a 49year sentence. Much reminiscing was had during an afternoon session at the Spittal Brook. My Greatrix joined us for a while and the regular get together was mentioned - when is that, anyway?

Tonight's the night.

Well, we got away with it again. My chauffeur arrived to pick me up and couldn't restart his car - after half an hour of us arsing about with it, it started (for no obvious reason) (no wonder his son's a comedian) and so, I followed him to his home in mine and we arrived a touch late.

Only four new-boys tonight, I think. Trevor turned up, but that was Cyril's fault. And a recently-escaped maintenance individual arrived with a huge box of photos that some idiot was going to have thrown out - they may begin to appear on here - if @Justin Time can manage it (I will speak to his supervision).....

There must have been thirtyish there, mostly the usual suspects.
