I was sitting here in Cornwall on a grey, chilly November day, feeling every one of my 75 years and wondering which of my potentially life-threatening problems would get me first. Then I read, as I always do, Blind date, the one about Sarah and Max (16 November), and it moved me so much that I even shed a tear. How lovely to read of a date that worked out well. I do so hope they continue their friendship, and thank you for the warmth it brought into my day.

• I was struck by two adjacent headlines in Friday’s paper. On page two “Poor countries urged to water down climate cash demands”; on page three “Art world goes bananas as piece of fruit taped to a wall sells for $5.2m”. A world gone bananas indeed.
