Greetings from the past

Dear FutureMe, It's the 15th of April 2004. The car's just failed its MOT AGAIN. Maybe I'll be shot of that old thing by the time you get this. Hope the job's going well - hard to tell as I haven't started it yet at the time of writing (but you've been there for nearly a year now you lucky fella!) How's the book going? Please tell me it IS still going (or even finished). If you abandon it this time we are seriously going to have words. Perhaps you and G will be divorced by now, well I hope it all went well and you're still friends. Probably not, knowing you. Finally, I hope you're happier than I am. I mean, you know, I'm not bad, but could be better. Anyway, all the best, J
