GREAT TOWN*

 * What the person who named Greytown probably intended if his spelling was as atrocious as Robert's is.

***************

Richard has picked up a bug.








You just never know what those Wainuiomartians will get up to next.

With luck he'll get up to Greytown on Saturday provided he leaves a day early. Mind you, he lives so far out in the wop wops he's halfway to the wire-wrapper Wairarapa already.

I hope the old guy gets better before his trip and, if not, he uses a mask when socialising.

I've had some sort of a cold for over a week now with similar symptoms to the one he describes. I must have picked it up on a bus trip or at the picture theatre Sunday week ago. I must try and remember to wear a mask when I do this. I do recall some idiot sneezing and coughing at the film (De Gaulle) and thinking at the time that the person should have stayed at home.

Oh well, Amor fati.
