Cheque mate

Well, the postie came up trumps today after all and delivered my cheque book, so I can pay my membership fees after all. Phew!

It also means I have to go to my client meeting tomorrow morning, which means dusting off the suit I hardly ever wear now and keep for occasions like this. You never know when you'll have to play dressy-up for the people that hire you.

I'm still waiting for the book that I'm supposed to be copy-editing to arrive. It was due 2 weeks ago and there's still no sign of it. What's the betting that it gets emailed to me minutes before I leave for my meeting?
