he weather's been wonderful since yesterdav and I,ve perked up quite a bit. My writing, the best thing I have, is coming along well. I go to the attic almost every morning to get the stale air out of my lungs. This morning when I went there, Peter was busy cleaning up. He finished quickly and came over to where I was sitting on my favourite spot on the floor. The two of us looked out at the blue skv, the bare chestnut tree glistening with dew, the seagulls and other birds glinting with silver as they swooped through the air, and we were so moved and entranced that we couldn,t speak. He stood with his head against a thick beam, while I sat. We breathed in the air, looked outside and both felt that the soell shouldn't be broken with words. We remained like this for a long while, and by the time he had to go to the loft to chop wood, I knew he was a good, decent boy. He climbed the l ladder to the loft and I followed: during the fifteen minutes he was chopping wood, we didn,t say a word either. I watched him from where I was standing and could see he was obviously doing his best to chop the right way and show off his strength. But I also looked out of the open window letting 2 my eyes roam over a large part of Amsterdam, over the
rooftops and on to the horizon, a strip of blue so pale it was w almost invisible. As long as this exists,' I thought, ,this
sunshine and this cloudless sky, and as long as I can enjoy it,
how can I be sad?' )
Unless you write yourself, you can,t know how wonderful it is; I always used to bemoan the fact that I couldn,t draw, but now I'm overjoyed that at least I can write. And if I don't have the talent to write books or newspaper articles, I can always write for myself. But I want to achieve more than that. I can't imagine having to live like Mother, Mrs van Daan and all the women who go about their work and are then forgotten. I need to have something besides a husband and children to devote myself to! I don't want to have lived in vain like most people, even those I've never met. I wanr to go on living even after my deathl And that,s why I,m so grateful to God for having given me this gift, which I can use ro develop myself and to express all that's inside mel

THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to me. It was three months before I was seven years old.
On the afternoon of that day, I knew that 5 something was happening. I went outside and waited on the steps of the house. I could feel the sun on my face and I could touch the leaves of the plants. Then I felt someone walking towards me. I thought it was my mother and she picked l0 me up and held me close. This was my teacher who had come to teach all things to me and, above all, to love me.
The next morning, the teacher took me into her room and gave me a doll. When I was playing ls with it, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled the word 'd-o-l-f
into my hand. I was interested and I imitated the movements with my fingers. I learned a lot of words like this, but only after my teacher had been with me for several weeks did I 20 understand that everything has a name.
One day, I didn't understand the difference between'mug' and'water'. I became angry and threw the doll on the floor. In my quiet. dark
world I didn't feel sorry for doing it. Then my 25 teacher took me out into the warm sunshine. We walked down to the well where someone was drawing water. My teacher put my hand under the water and spelled the word'w-a-t-e-r'
at the same time in my other hand. Suddenly, I 30 felt an understanding. The mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that'w-a-t-e-r' was the wonderful cool something flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope,joy, set it free! 3b

'Wher-r
I called on Sherlock Holmes on thc st'concl nrorninq after Christmas, he was lying on the sofa next to sol-ne ne\vspapers. On a chair, there -uvas a very dirry old hat and a niaenifiring glass.
'l suppose,'
I said,'th:rt therc is a story about that hat which will help you solve :rnorhcr i n l \ \ t c r i ( ) u s c ' r ' i n r c . '
'There's
no crinre,' said Sherlock Flolmes laughing.'Just a stran€le little incident. Peterson, the door attendant, found the hat.At about four o'clock in the morning, he was coming back from a parry when he saw a tall rnan carrying a goosc. Sr-rddenl_v, two thugs appeared. One pushed the rnan and thc orhcl thus rried to 10 take the goose. Peterson went to protect the m:rn but seeing someone in uniform,
he dropped the goose and ran away. All the attackers disappeared so Peterson was left
1rc uroPPcLr Lrrc goose:rrl0 ran away.ml lne attacKers clsappearecl so l-eterson was IeIt
with both the goose and the old hat.There was a card with the goose saying'For Mrs Henr:y Baker'and the
initials'H.ll.'inside the hat, but there are a 1ot of Henry Bakers in London. Peterson did not know what to do rvith either the hat or the goose so he broueht both to n1e o1r Christm:rs mornins. I kept the hat and Peterson l5 had the goose for his Christnras dinner.'
'So
can you find any clues abor-rt thc r-nan liom this old hat?' 'What c:rn you see, Watson?'
'Well,
it is atr orditrary black hat.The lining is made of recl silk and there is no elastic.There is some dr,rst on it and sevcral spots. Someonc has tried to cover all of the spots with ink. But I can't sec any c1ues.'

Rob is 35 years old. He used to uork as a DJ; nou be ouns a record shop. But business is bad ancl ltis long-time partneli Laura, bas just walked out on bim.
AII my life I've hated Sundays ... but this Sunday is a corker. I get back to the flat at one; by two, things have got so bad that I decide to go home - bome home, Mum and Dad home. It was 'waking up in the middle of the night and wondering where I belonged that did ir: I don't belong at home, and I don't want to belong at home, but at least home is a somewhere I know. . . . My parents are OK, if you like that sort of thing, which I don't. My dad is a bit dim but something of a know-all,which is a pretty fatal combination;you can tell from his silly, fussy beard that he's going to be the sort who doesn't talk much sense and won,t listen to any reason. My mum is iust a mum, which is an unforgivable thing to say in any circumstances except this one. She worries, she gives me a hard time about the shop, she gives me a hard time about my childlessness. I wish I wanted to see them more but I don't,and when I've got nothing else to feel bad about, I feel bad about that. They'll be pleased to see me, although my heart sinks when I see that Geneuieue is onTV this afternoon.
... V{hen I get there, the joke's on me: they're not in. I,ve come a million stops on the Metropolitan Line on a Sunday afternoon, I've waited eight years for a bus, Geneuieue is on the television and theyte not here.They didn't even call to let me know they wouldn't be here, not that I called to let them know I was coming. If I was at all prone to self-pity, which I am, I would feel bad about the terrible irony of finding your parenrs our when, finally,you need them.
But just as I'm abour to head back to the bus stop, my mum opens the window of the house opposite and yells at me. 'Rob! Robert! Come in!'

' l n .\I've never met the people over the road, but it soon becomes obvious that I'm in a minority of one: the house is packed.
'What's the occasion?'
'Not Dad's home-made?'
'No.Proper wine.This afternoon it'sAustralian.W"e all chip in and a man comes and explains it all.'
'l didn't know you were interested in wine.' 'Oh, yes. And your dad loves it.'
... The room is full of people I don't recognise. I wasn't expecting this. I came for an afternoon of silent misery, not wild partying; the one thing I wanted from the afternoon was incontrovertible proof that my life may be grim and empty, but not as grim and empty as life in Watford. Wrong again!... Life in Watford is grim, yes;but grim and full.!7'hat right do parents have to go to parties on Sunday afternoons for no reason at all?
'Geneuieue
is on the tellv this afternoon. Mum.' 'l know.Ve're taping it.'
'Vrhen did you get a video?' 'Months ago.'
'You never told me.' 'You never asked.'
'ls that what I'm supposed to do every week?Ask you whether you've bought any consumer durables?'
... \\\\\7e go home and watch the rest of Geneuieue. My dad comes back maybe an hour later.
'We're all going to the pictures,'he says. This is too much.
'You don't approve of the pictures, Dad.'
'I don't approve of the rubbish you go to watch. I approve of nice well-made films. British films.'
'What's on?'my mum asks him.
'Howard's End.lt's the follow-up to A Room uitb a Viewl 'Oh, lovely, my mum says.'Is anyone else going from across the rcad?'
'OnlyYvonne and Brian. But get a move on. It starts in half an hour.'
1 'l'd better be going back,'I say. I have exchanged hardly a word I with either of them all afternoon.
I 'You're going nowhere,'my dad says.'You're coming with us. My I treat.'
| 'tt's not the money, Dad. It's the time. I'm working tomorrow.' |
'Don't
be so feeble, man.You'll still be in bed by eleven. It'll do I you Sood. Buck you up. Take your mind off things.'
I This is the first reference to the fact that I have things off which I my mind needs taking.
I end ary-way, he's wrong. Going to the pictures aged thirty-five I with your mum and dad and their insane friends does not take I lour minO off things, I discover. lt uery much puts your mind I o n t h i n S s . . .

rica Glendale , at 2O years old, is one of the oldest cows in Britain. Erica has delivered 238,000 pints of milk in her life and used to be a champion dairy cow. 'She won prizes every year when she was in her prime and we would always celebrate together,' said farmer Bob Maxwell. Erica has retired from competitions but last week, after he had finished work, Bob took Erica for a birthday treat to the Red Lion Inn for a slice of cake and a drink. 'If you work with an animal for 20 years, you get pretty attached to it,' said Bob. 'All the regulars love Erica,' said one customer. 'But I think the Red Lion ought to think about getting a new carpet.'

Mrs Merrick, 70, had just come back from Bodmin, where she had been shopping, when she was attacked by Billy, a runaway bull. When Mrs Merrick bravely tried to defend herself, Billy lcrocked her over and started eating the contents of her shopping bag. The pensioner was finally rescued by a man who had been working in a nearby garage. 'The farmer sent her a lovely steak and kidney pie,' said one neighbour. ,But he didn't say whether Billy was in it.'
