Hey,

You’re like a dog with a bone, aren’t you? Here are a couple more pics of Mara. I had to pretend to be testing my lenses – she hates having her photo taken. I passed on your thanks to her for telling you about that organisation. They sound really great. She is so massively interested in what you’re doing . . . but, mate, if you’re asking for more photos of her, aren’t you taking this interest in her a little bit too far? I have told you about how much she trusts men, right? I’m shaking my head in worry here.

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder about talking to those guys with the money who I met with Rebecca too. I must chase them up for you. I was just speaking to Sam about it last night, as it happens. We were out having a drink together. Yes. Not a date, exactly, but I could be making progress. Maybe. She did get me a job, though, working on set with her, so she must have been happy to spend all that time together – not that we saw each other until the end of the day. We were both really busy. Man, she nails her job. And seeing her marching around with a two-way radio on her hip all day. There’s definitely something about a girl with a radio on her hip . . . Listen to me. I’m getting off on communication tools. Worrying.

And you think I should find out more about this Charlie Posh-whatsit? I don’t know, mate, I’m not sure I can see the point of doing that but as you say, knowing more about my competition might be helpful. Either that, or it will make me want to go and deck him. I’ll report back.

Gotta scoot,

Ed
