...and what else?...well this morning, I was to give my parents a ring, in manningtree...to thank them for that Christmas card...ha ha ha...see previous notes...anyway, they weren't there...because if they had been at number 6, the maltings...then mum would still have been in bed....it is just before 9am, you understand....and she tends to get up late.

...anyway, I then realised that I didn't have their London number....but I had mum's mobile phone number logged on my phone...hmmm...and having tried it...it is no longer recognised as a valid number....

...and so I decided to look through logged calls upon my mobile to see if my parents had called me from their rented London flat....to find out that no such calls had been logged...but a certain number was to stand out....logged upon the 5th of august....as a received call...odd that, because I do not normally take calls from 'unknown numbers'....07528354354....go figure.
