Subject: Hello
Monday 15th December

Last Wednesday we had a lot of rain here, and nearly all of it fell while I was walking home from work. I kid you not, there was a bloody thunderstorm about 2 minutes after I got into the middle of nowhere-to-shelter, I was quite scared of the lightening so that took my mind off how DRENCHED I was getting. It took 2 days for my shoes to dry our in the sun which followed. Your father couldn’t stop laughing when he saw me, I looked like I’d just got out of the shower. And then on Sunday it was 38 degrees. So that’s probably why a lot of people here are getting sick as well. Dad’s had a sore throat, a sore neck, his shoulder’s playing up and now he’s got an ear infection and his sinuses are not good – all this since Saturday. Of course you realise that he’s going to live to be 100 while I’ll probably drop dead next week. I think that’s his plan anyway.

Thursday 17th July

Okay, like I know anything about your business – NADA!!!

Yet, here's that proverbial "but". . .

I went to the ABC website to see the trailers of Dirty, Sexy, Money in hopes of seeing the trailer that Matthew saw at the movies. Didn't see it. However, while there I saw a commercial for M&Ms Dark – they use the theme song from the TV Show "Adams Family." And you know what? The opening song tells us what we're supposed to know, how we're supposed to feel, about this family. "They're crazy and they're cooky" etc. Perhaps doing a unique theme song for Dirty Sexy would let the audience know what they're supposed to get and how they're supposed to feel.

Yeah, I know. Dumb. But in a weird way – it could be kinda cool. Could help the audiences identify. And who know, may it could set a trend – instead if ripping off successful old rock songs. . . you'd create your own new one!

Well, I'll get out of your business, now.

LOVE YOU!!

Mom.

Both pairs of jeans were snoozing in your closet -- lower right, as you
suspected. But each pair was included with something else on the same
hanger, so they were probably easy to overlook.

I stretched both pairs out on your bed -- they seem in rather pristine
condition -- except one pair has a tear on each leg (distressingly chic?)
perhaps where you walked on them. They are very long. I held them up -- and
they'd be VERY long on me, I'd be walking on them.

But now that I look at them -- they still are VERY nice jeans -- and I think
you could truly use them again and enjoy them. (I still remember that
shopping day we had at Bendel's, when you tried them on and liked them --
and then found an additional pair months later at Century 21.)

Anyhow, would you like me to bring them to MV for you? They fold very flat;
don't think it would pose a space problem for you.

With an eagle eye,

Yesterday I was standing in the kitchen when I saw a magpie go strutting past the sliding door, having a good sticky beak at everything. Then it hopped up on one of the chairs and I was watching Willis (who woke up on one of the other chairs) to make sure she didn't attack the maggie. When the bird hopped to one of the other chairs Willis rushed over to the sliding door, banging on it and her face saying "Let me in there's a great big feathery thing out here with long pointy bits and I'm scared". So I let her in and she pretended to be all cool and calm by turning her back on the door (once she made sure it was shut) and giving herself those little licks that she does when she's pretending to be cool. Poor Willis - the maggie did have an exceptionally pointed beak though. I think she's missing her cuddles from you - Dad and I just don't measure up. And I'm probably not helping matters by showing her pictures of you with other cats.

OK. I have to work now anyway.

I just bought a fruit drink from downstairs – it’s flavour is Blood Red Orange and Ginseng. I was lured into the purchase by the name (Grassroots – so I thought it was organic) but when I got upstairs the print of ingredients on the label was so small I had to get the magnifying glass out. Turns out to be just another fruit drink (although it does taste nice). So my point is this – what’s the use of printing ingredients on the label if people can’t read them easily?
