So, rather than receiving the cookies from my Nan that I've been expecting, I got a very nice letter for an Ophelia McGuire. I've posted it back to her, but in case it doesn't get through again: Ophelia. Declan is very sorry for that thing that he did, and he wants you to know that he would never ever do it again.

Now, personally, Ophelia, I think that would be a mistake. But follow your heart.

I want to do something nice for Matty. She's been putting on a brave face, but I know she's still upset about Robbie. I also know how much she loves all things breakfast. I was thinking about having another small brunch for her and her favorite people. Do you think you could help me set it up? I want it to be a surprise for her, and I could use some help.

Well, I can't decide if the fact that strange things have been happening off the pitch more often lately is a good thing or not...still, I've had worse houseguests in my time.

I've been making some notes about the statement - I'll send them over to you once we've had the input from everybody else. I'm confident that between us we can write something with the effect we want.

Just letting you all know that Marlene and I will be working on the press release soon. If there's anything you didn't get the chance to say at the meeting, now's the time!
