Pub news.

I arrived at the pub,on time as usual,to be met by Charlie the barmaid. "Good afternoon",she says with a welcoming smile on her face. Jez wanders in,"Hello, John,hello Gordon," he says with the jovial air of the local landlord.

A little while later Di wandered in, walked up to me,"Hello, lovely," I said,(this is the usual form of address),and she hit me!

"What was that for?", I exclaimed. "Sorry, lovely, it's a habit!"

I am astounded, but will continue my blog in the face of all adversity. I owe it to my readers!
