Monday

Jean came in from work to say she couldn’t come to the Bowling Alley as arranged.  Her brother John and his wife Dorothy were going to Dorothy’s mother and Jean’s Mum was having funny turns again.  She said she had seen Marj on the train tonight and had been invited to attend the shopping expedition on Saturday.  Well, that only makes six of us.  Georgie the 2^nd bridesmaid, her sister, Jean, Jennifer and me, and of course Marj, the bride.

Dad asked me to write to Derek to come and fix the radiogram and the television.  I have done so, with much reluctance as I can’t help remembering the twenty-third.
