Hi de! It is a bit warmer here! It's a shame you can't go to our neighbourhood party tomorrow instead of me ... I am sure you would be much more chatty than I am feeling/would/will be .... hmm how can I get out of it .....

20 minutes later ......

I've just told Mike that maybe I can't go tomorrow, and we have had an argument. But I have decided not to go now

I bet you wish you hadn't posted this now

Take care,
Fuzzy
