Day 1528

Wrote out French pronunciations for M's mum, walked round and delivered them. Came back via the Co-op for fizzy water. Watched England v. Scotland - first half very boring, second half much more exciting with goals by Shearer and Gazza.

Met T at the station at 7.15, and we joined M and E at the Cricketers. We managed to stay till 11.38 without even getting hassled - a record. The other bar was full of 16-year-olds; strange, because 10 years ago the Cricketers had the reputation of being very difficult for under-age drinking.

Came back here with T, ate Stilton and posh crisps, drank tea and watched The X-Files and Quantum Leap (What Price Gloria?) till 5.10 am. It started getting light at 3.30 and the Sun was just coming over the houses when we each went to bed.
