As key exams approach

He tells me he is studying diligently. His room, he avers, is an oasis of academic contemplation.

Enthusiasm is a horrid thing, sir

Dear David,

Thank you so much for the exercise ball you gave me for Christmas. I use it every day, and I find it makes a big difference. As you may find this a bit hard to believe when we meet at Toby and Abi's big do next month, here's a picture of our lounge on a typical day, with the exercise ball ready for action.

Looking forward to seeing you again after too long,

Your loving brother,

Will
