Even more good news...

Just heard from Will that he has been offered a new job so he's on his way out of retail, and just in time to escape the pre-Christmas buildup (but say goodbye to the Borders staff discount!). He's off to the Journals department at the Oxford University Press on Walton Street (carrying on the family connection there. Didn't Uncle Denis work at the OUP too?). Will's housemate Steve works there too and Clive of course in the O.E.D. so now he has a new matey for those liquid lunches at the 'Bookbinders' when the boss is off. Will starts the new job on 17th October and we're meeting him on Sunday afternoon at 'Far from the Madding Crowd' (more book refernces Gem - yawn)for a catch-up and to raise a glass to the regiment (er to have a drink).

Lovely photos of Grandma ezappy. Glad that all is well and that Grandad remembered the chocs. What a cheeky face Grandad..butter wouldn't melt..how old are you there? I'm guessing 7 years?

Here's one for you...Listening to Radio2 last Sunday and he played a swing bannd version of Oasis' track 'Wonderwall' and he challenged the listeners to guess who was covering it, well it was only Paul Anka! He's released an album of 'rock' songs and its hilarious (probably not supposed to be). He has also got quite a flashy website..check it out!

Anyone know if Freddie Flintoff's is over his hangover yet? Get in there Barmy Army..

love Gemsi x
