Extracts

As an exercise in self-discipline, and because I've so enjoyed PhilippaRM's Cyprus diaries, I've decided to have a go at drabbles. All will be exactly 100 words long, plus the date of the entry. Ooer! Usual disclaimers apply. Hope you enjoy!

Doh! I just realised why 29 April next year rang a bell. Ah well, at least Ruth will get the day off. ;)

Thank you for all the lovely reviews. Sorry it is all so random. Normal service will be resumed when I come up with an ending to Moving on that I'm happy with...

Zaf has been running a poker school in Thames House after hours. I told him to end it; he said it was just a bit of fun that helped them all to unwind. And he's pocketed quite a tidy sum, it appears.

Adam and I are boring everyone witless talking about the Ashes. I've got tickets for the Oval for Sunday and Monday; he's coming on Sunday but can't make Monday. Strictly speaking, I can't either. However, I invited Ruth, promising her an exciting spectacle that she could tell her grandchildren about. She declined. Apparently even filing is more interesting.
