I'm barely managing to hobble around the flat, so the journey out to the car for the trip South should be fun. Good job I'm taking the automatic as I don't think I'd be very effective with a clutch pedal

Thanks for reminding me, must buy a bottle of port.Comment

And to buy that bottle of port.

Maybe that will prompt him to find them a more appropriate home.

I am trying to think of an excuse to excuse myself. Mention of port has reminded me I don't have any. That could be my ticket out for a bit.....Comment
