Quite a bit.

Stan,

Good holiday.

But I didn't know you woke up so early.

Perhaps, you listen in bed.

Must meet up over next few weeks or so.

Hi Fred, Tis early isn't it -):

Yes very good hol. thanks tell you all about it when we meet, and how was/is Norfolk?

How about a meet up sometime in week starting Monday 7th Nov?

Seems OK.

Will E-mail or phone you when I know I am let out again.

Away for the W/E tonight, so have a think.
