I've started work at the new place and have been keeping a low profile as far as the neighbours are concerned. It was all going swimmingly until the TG said after I had finished work - "There's is no way you're getting into the car in those clothes - change."

I stripped off to my socks and knickers whilst standing in the conservatory. At this point Veritable Vera popped her head over the fence, presumably to welcome us. She took one look and disappeared from sight in a flash. It was all very strange - we had heard that she is a little frail and has difficulty getting about but she seemed quite agile to me.



Tomorrow I'm fixing the new television aerial which is quite high up, as they tend to be - perhaps I'll be able to speak to her from there - or does that come under the category of 'multi-tasking'? I hope I don't become unbalanced. (Don't worry Peabrain, nobody would notice. Lo,TG Ed)

[Actually, I did the aerial yesterday - and tomorrow I'm going to do it again, properly - it's a long story ............. but wind comes into it ........ no sign of VV though]
