I found this note at the swimming pool where Bronwyn is having lessons. Well, actually, I saw it laying on the floor in the foyer and wondered about it for a while, and then River picked it up. I assumed it was a shopping list of some sort. What other handwritten notes are there these days? Who writes letters? It's all emails, texts or facebook. But this note appears to be a good old-fashioned love letter. Mysteriously it says, "Dear Apollo", and then is signed, "Much love, Apollo". That is a bit odd. I wonder if the person it was intended for ever got the note. Is it genuine? The romantic in me hopes that it is, perhaps. Maybe it was written by some love-struck high school kid? The other thing I noticed is that the creases in the paper show it has been screwed up into a tiny ball at some point; very tightly. Screwed up into a ball and thrown on the floor. Who knows...I suppose not every romantic gesture is a welcome one. As a genuine romantic note it's a far cry from the type of handwritten notes passed along when I was in high school. The pinnacle of wit and romance being; "My mate fancies you". A slight improvement on, "Nice tits". Evolution.
