GILES AND FAMILY IN NEW YORK.

-OFFICIAL

FTER a dreary night sympathising with the baby over her teething difficulties, my wife and I ent down to a seven o'clock breakfast with the joy of living at its lowest ebb.

Half-way through the porridge course the sun came out, and instantly our spirits soared. We even began a conversation-a rare event in our house so carly in the day.

No, Jimmy, It is not planning, it is just a coincidence that the moon Ats exactly over the sun to give a total eclipno.
