Dear Kitty,
             I am both happy and sad. I am happy because I think I've lost weight!
            However, I'm sad - because my dress doesn't fit anymore. This is a shame because it's a very nice dress.
             I'm actually about to go  and see an opera now - it's a Music trip to see 'Don Giovanni' in MK. Oh, the excitement! I'm thoroughly looking forward to it - I haven't heard any decent opera since...well, since Mum and Dad last did a concert, really. But that's mostly because the only opera I've seen since was 'Carmen', and it was terrible. Oh, wait, I saw 'La Traviata' - but that was in German and doesn't count. Still, time for a jolly good night out!
Yours,
        Francesca
