Getting it write... I mean right... I think....

When I write my blog posts I know that I often make spelling mistakes and I'm sure that I make lots of grammatical errors too... luckily my lovely wife, Vicky, points these out to me pretty quickly and I manage to change things without too many people noticing... or at least that's what I thought. I've just received this email though that suggests that I'm making a right mess of things... but it's good to know that they will be 'honored' (or honoured) to look things over and save me the embarrassment of getting things wrong. I'm not going to take them up on this fantastic offer but I thought I'd mention it here in case any of my writer friends would like to take them up on this kind offer....

Cheers,

P.S. Let me know if you ever find yourself in foggy San Francisco; I’d love to grab some coffee. :)
