Dear Toshie,

Thanks for sending back the book I lent you. You (1) read it already! You must be the world's fastest reader! Hope you enjoyed it.

Well, the big news is, I decided not to go to Italy to take up my job offer.

Basically, moving there (2) meant a lot of upheaval and frankly I couldn't face the hassle. Maybe I (3) just gone, and been a bit more adventurous, and for sure, I've got mixed feelings about it, as if part of me wanted to go. Who knows, I (4) met the man of my dreams! But I didn't take the decision lightly. I (5) spent several weeks thinking about nothing else. Anyway, what's done is done.

My other news concerns my Dad. You remember I was getting very worried because he'd been having dizzy spells and feeling all light-headed. Well, I (6) worried - he's been diagnosed as suffering from low blood pressure, so he's on medication for that. The doctor said it's possible that his vegetarian diet (7) set it off. It's a pity you weren't here! You (8) been able to help Dad, with your interest in holistic medicine. You (9) given him some of your aromatherapy treatments.

Anyway, hope to see you again before too long. By the way, guess who's getting married in June? Brenda! I (10) known it would be her! It's typical; that girl has all the luck!

Bye!

Love from, Sue.
