lunch in a Greek restaurant. He's always
been very nice to me though not partic-

being asked for the most awful holes in
W.11. and area. As for good flats,they
come at about £30 upwards per week. One
agent asked her to pay £100 deposit against
damage,£35 agency,fee,and of course a month

She quickly abandoned the back rubbing

Love to you both - Robert
