There's a lot of people who think this country's going down the tubes as it is.

I know that. But even so . . . I find myself changing my mind constantly. One minute I think we should stay . . . next minute I think . . .

Well that's just it . . . Today I'd say In. Because we were booking the villa. And I thought — how dreadful if we couldn't afford it . . . Yesterday I thought Out . . . Because there was a thing in the paper about the Bulgarians — 

Gosh.

And the day before . . . I was thinking how sorry I'd be if we lost our lovely little Portuguese deli-place. With the custardy things . . .

Scrumptious!

I worry about it, Lizzie.

Do you? Well . . . Well — cheer up! Fingers crossed, it'll never happen. And I'm pretty sure they sell those custardy things at Waitrose. By the way: do you know if your little maths tutor man's got a teeny space for Toby? I'm getting super-desperate.
