How are things?

Dear Matt

This is just a quick note to find out how you’re keeping. I’ve been really worried about you since your news. I know you don’t like me worrying but I can’t help it. I just want to know that you’re okay. News this side of the pond is pretty mundane. Work is a bit of a bind (but, hey, when isn’t it?). Sara is still sleeping on the Sofa from Hell (incidentally she hasn’t mentioned how uncomfortable it is, which either means that she’s being really polite or has a spine made of steel), and my parents are talking about coming to see me. I broke the news to them that we’d split up and my dad was so happy he was like a game-show contestant. Did I ever tell you the reason why my dad never liked you? It was because you’re English. My dad never has anything good to say about the English. He says, and I quote, ‘They all act like they’ve got flagpoles shoved up their butts.’ Truth is, he’s never liked any of my boyfriends. That’s what dads do best, I guess – hate their daughters’ boyfriends. Well, gotta go and do some work now (or at least pretend to).
