Sixteen year old Princess has travelled to France via London on a French exchange visit. She flies back at the end of this week. Following are extractions from emails sent and received between us.

Well as you can see our Internet is finally back on following the lightning strike. After a typical Sydney summers day, balmy [...]

‘Come on get up it’s ten to nine. I’m really sorry mate, I forgot all about you. You were just so quiet.’

‘Yeh whatever, right here’s your clothes, get them on, I’ll go and make your breakfast… We’ll have to tell [...]

It’s an episode [...]

Oh dear, I seem to be in everybody’s bad books today.

Princess is unhappy because I haven’t re-formatted [...]
