Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cora and I are in Athens <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Elena (Cora’s sister) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Insisted that we stay with her <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When she found out we were in Hydra <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confession Time <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We flew to Athens <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know how much you hate flying <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please forgive me as I had no choice <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will understand if you spank my bare bum <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I return home (please do not forgive me Joe)) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like Rome Athens is an experience <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Epecially after the peace of this islands <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena has said that we can stay as long as we want <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So it looks like Josie is going to get to know Athens <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strangely enough there is curio shop about five minutes away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cora and I purchased rings for each other and a necklace for Elena <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also found a few English language booklets for you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of these is a poem by Cardinal Newman <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dream of Gerontius <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you remember Daddy telling us about this work <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told us of its similarities to Dante’s Divine Comedy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know you have a copy but this one is fun <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It notes that General Gordon once had a copy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is now preserved in Truro Cathedral <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was given to him by the Times Correspondent <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not long before he was murdered by the savages <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena who read history at university <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Told us about the gory details of Gordon’s death <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the revolting aftermath <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which I am sure you are aware of <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This set me thinking <\/p>\n\n\n\n
History does travel in circles <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It really does travel in circles <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you often say <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cora and I are still planning <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To visit the church in Thessaloniki<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we have delayed this adventure <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am so so tanned Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though I have not been <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working on my tan <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie is closing now <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I am hitting the wall <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elena is preparing a lovely meal <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I pray that I will not<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be too tired to enjoy the dishes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I loved your Silly\/Sick Boy jokes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the Caty Cumdump piece <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I read them to Cora who found them funny <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I am not sure if she understood <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The subtleties of your cruel pen <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said I sometimes struggle <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look after yourself Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seriously look after yourself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel so guilty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How did the football go <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I understand that Spain won <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But no other details <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though I am miles away <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am sharing our bed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cora and Elena (who you have yet to meet) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Send their love <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so do I bro
