OLD FOLKS TOWN*

* The original name for Foxton before it got shortened.

Richard's off to Foxton again later this week. I hope that the weather gods are kinder to him this time.

I guess he'll be celebrating his birthday with Shelley who will take the old guy out for dinner in Palmerston North.  I hope that she takes his age into consideration when selecting a restaurant. It's probably better that he eats soft, easy to chew and mild foods - maybe take him to a milk bar cafe or a soup kitchen. Places to avoid will be Indian curry houses and  Mexican restaurants, particularly given the bathroom facilities at the 'pottery'.
