I believe in getting into hot water, it keeps you clean

There comes a time when you have to get off the fence.

Two nights ago I received a text message that indicated I had been involved in the problems in Devon. Something has been said which has been repeated, and possibly embellished. The thing that has been said makes it seem like I have lied about something.

It is astonishing that I can have been involved in this when I am a) 150 miles away and b) haven't actually fallen out with anybody.

So, now that I've been thrown to the lions, I thought that I might as well say my piece, once and for all. All four of my sisters would have received a letter from me this morning. Not a text message - a letter, which is a sort of old-fashioned text message, with vowels and punctuation. The over-riding theme of these messages is: stop being childish and sort this out.

I have yet to deal with my mother. Quite what I say to her is really up to what sort of reaction my letters get.

We'll see.
