A few weeks back we got a letter from Robbie’s school, to say that as part of his Art course he would be doing a drawing of a nude. We had to sign a permission slip to say this was ok. Well today was the day. Last night Robbie was a bit reserved and unsure about what it would be like, and even whether the model would be male or female. So, I gave him my best advice… if it is a female, do not make any comments such as ‘nice boobs’ etc, and if it was a male, draw ‘it’ small.

This evening I got in from work, and asked how it went. Well, said Robbie, it was a female model. And ? I asked. She was about 60 and very large, was his reply. . Not quite what Robbie had in mind.

I was in London today, travelling on the underground cattle trucks, which seemed packed. Tricia has just gone out coaching, she didn’t seem particularly keen, I think she would have preferred an evening in front of the fire. Nikki reported yesterday that her first day in Watford hospital went well.

Here is a photo from saturday evening…. Tricia and me in our finest charity shop clothes.

Rob has just beaten me at darts for the second evening in a row. We play round the clock, and finish with a 25 and then the bull. I hadn’t hit the 25 when he won. More practice will be needed, I can’t have this!
