First didn't mean to sign it, but then after talking on the bank with Mr Fantham and Mrs Braithwaite, decided to do so. I do want to go out of here, tho I really feel we should have no say, yet it might help as Fantham says, if Gimson really wants to know what we want to do.
Went for a swim after French lesson.
