My house sold in a blink to a young couple and now it's just a matter of their doing the paper work and building and pest checks. I'm stressed out of my brain making decisions on what to keep and what to throw away! This morning I took a couple of boxes of books to the university, where they have a huge book fair every two years. I told them two of the books, 'Firing,' by Ninette Dutton and 'Out in the Open', by her (now late, and deservedly so) husband, Geoffrey, must be sold together. Written in the 90s, Ninette's book was a charming tale of her life with her husband and family and Geoffrey's, 'a disarmingly frank autobiography', revealed years of betrayal with other women. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read it. What an absolute rotter!!!!!!!!! How could a man so publicly humiliate his wife like this??????? Wikileaks has nothing on this shameless revelation.
I'm listening to old tapes, dating back to some of Philip speaking French when he was 3 and 4. I can't possibly get rid of them as they bring tears to my eyes. He was so cute, just the way Emma is now.
I'm also having coffees and lunches with many friends, to say goodbye, though I intend to come back here to Newcastle frequently. Am also doing a lot of lying on the sofa in front of the telly watching reruns of 'The Bill'.
