As Watson said: "Surely rather fanciful, Holmes," to which Holmes replied, "Well, I don't insist on it."
I mean that today we had a fairly dull, overcast and slightly colder day. It was a very "nothing" day today. Nothing much happened, nothing was particularly bad, nothing was particularly good.
I had a bunch of girls today, usually my best and they were a little distracted, a little somewhere else. Because they're such good girls they tried but couldn't quite keep the mind on the job.
Now I'd be very interested in how your day was. Was it a bit ordinary, a bit forgettable?
I was just talking with the driver now and he said that it will be awful tomorrow, thousands on the road after the holiday and the weather not the greatest. That usually equates to road accidents everywhere over here.
Does that accord at all with your situation over there? Of course, antipodiaens will be different.
