Packing

Been packing, but not yet packed.

I got a call from an old friend today called Keith. I went to V96 with Keith, 7 bloody years ago! I've not seen him for about 6 years. Since then he's got married. I may get introduced to his wife. That will be strange. I've also not seen his dog, Jock for ages, though he may be dead now.

I also bought an apple tree today to plant in my parents garden, so I can come back and judge the progress, year by year. I'll grow old and say things like "T'was the summer of '03 that I planted that tree. Back then t'was a mere sappling with withered leaves and a twisted trunk. Now tis a gigantic mammoth that produces enough apples to feed the northern hemisphere".

This is our summer of discontent.
