Oh.

I have been elsewhere today.

Have you got a note to cover your absence?

Yes.

Mrs S wrote me one.

It says, ‘please excuse Spalding’s absence from the forum. He wandered off, and some kind people found him, and called the police. Apparently, he had found his way to the aerodrome, and was watching the aeroplanes. He had missed his nap, was tetchy until he’d had a little sleep’.

That seems to be sufficient. You’re excused.
