I heard that my school friend LF (then ED) had taken a job at RA’s charity. “What’s she doing for you?” I asked.

When I learnt that that L was in charge of finance I had to admit that I was somewhat surprised: L was a much better horsewoman than mathematician at school.

Later we heard that L’s employer RA was all bandaged up after a fall from the climbing wall at the Virgin Active gym at the Omni Centre. We all paid her a visit to cheer her up.
