Ooh, can you bear all these niceties?

Well, if I sent a Teddy, it could be misinterpreted .... by Pete!

Oh boy! That would be lovely! And I don't suppose he'd even notice....

Even though we're all friends here.

Like ships that pass in the night...

It's good to have friends.... after all, none of us knows the shape of things to come.......

That sounds as though you half expect something bad to happen.

Not really....I just make a habit of being prepared for anything!

Mmmm. I'm enjoying watching Mary Beard....she's a one-off among TV presenters.

Yes, she really brings the colour to the black-and-white of contemporaneous diaries.

She obviously isn't a certain Mr Gill's favourite lady though......

.... but who could have forecast the odds on that?

I bet you could...

....yes, he's a safe pair of hands!
