Hi Wendy!
Just a quick email to tell you that I've finally moved house. My new address is 12 Jackson Lane, Pennington. But obviously you can still email me at this address.
I'm enjoying life in a small village after London. Of course when I was in London I could do anything I wanted - I could go to the theatre of the cinema, meet friends, eat out, follow an evening course, do any sport. Here in Pennington I can't really do those things easily. But I hope that when I get my car next week I'll be able to travel to nearby towns and take advantage of the things on offer. I enjoy being able to take a walk in the woods when I want and getting home from work in only 10 minutes. In London I couldn't get home from work in less that 45 minutes and I love being able to spend more time at home relaxing. Hope to hear from you soon, take care!
Katie.

Teresa, thanks for your email. I'm sorry to hear about you health problems. Have you seen a doctor about these headaches? I really think you should go to your family doctor and tell her about them. You shouldn't understimate the problem. Have you got any other symptoms? You shouldn't take too many aspirins. Try these remedies: you should drink at least a litre of water everyday, and you shouldn't eat chocolate for a few days. Also, you ought to ask for an allergy test, as this might be the cause. You should sleep for at least seven hours every night, perhaps you're tired. And I know you're studying a lot at the moment, but you ought to take a rest sometimes. You should go for a walk or do some exercise outside in the fresh air. Let me know how you're feeling soon! Chris.
