h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sad to hear that you're leaving the Post. I can remember how easy it was when I first came to you with my idea for Underneath the Surface. I was a bit afraid to tell the truth, never really done anything like that before, but you made it so easy. Half the time I felt I wasn't doing the work, everything was always there, always catalogued, so organised. So, thanks for that. I feel indebted to you for helping me produce what were nearly fifty cartoons. I hope you find something else to invest all your helpfulness into .

Wotchit! How delightful to hear from you again. I hope you are well and enjoying life.

As you can see... I only made it to the front door before turning round and coming back...

It's great to hear that.

I am as wildly busy as always, currently directing a play of Catch-22, practising (occasionally even studiously) for my final cello exam and applying to universities. But keeping myself busy also stops me from getting bored, so unfortunately no time in which to ponder randomly on such things as caterpillars.

So, here's to another six years of helping

Good luck with the play and the 'cello exam! Are you using ABRSM or Trinity board? Do you have any specific uni in mind or are you happy to go anywhere?

You wouldn't be interested in doing the occasional graphic for again would you? The CA's are rushed off their feet and don't appear to have the time anymore. As you probably remember the 'honour' isn't too arduous - just the odd column graphic every now and again.

I'm doing ABRSM Grade 8, I've applied to Manchester, Cambridge, Durham, KCL, York and Nottingham with Manchester being my favourite, but I need a Distinction at Grade 8 to go there, so I'm really having to work hard to give myself a chance.

I'd love to say yes, but I've rarely had the chance to do any CA graphics myself this year. You can always ask and I'll pass the message on to the CAs, but mostly I'm rather busy.
