'...did we decide on a time for the 30th dec ?...'
If there are no funny leaves on the line between Cork
& Dublin & if Iaranrod Eireann manages to surmount
its reputation for tempramental behaviour we (my keeper
& I) should be in Davy's sometime shortly after noon.
(I only suggest this early hour, considering the season that's
in it & remembering how crowded it used to get -
forty years ago - by 12.30)
We are both incredibly well preserved, if miniature,
seventy-year olds: she still beautiful & myself wearing
the remains of what the late Florrie Donoghue once
called 'that eighteenth century face.'
I think I'll bring a copy of the Catcher to flash in case
mutual recognition isn't instantaneous.
