      They're straying from sad songs alread - Rocket Man? New England? and I'm getting fed up with Hallelujah. And Johnny Cash is becoming the new Queen, if you see what I mean.

      I waved to you from Kelburn - well I would have if I'd known what your boat looked like and if I'd had my binoculars on and if it was yesterday.

      You missed everyone but me becoming or about to become a grandad.
