*        Oh, yes!   Angelo Badalamento did a job and a half on Twin Peaks, Olga.   And strange as it sounds?   I’m vaguely hoping David Lynch doesn’t go for analysis … it could possibly spoil his next movie!   His use use of lighting’s amazing.   And his use of colour: especially — as odd as this sounds — in his black and white films.

        At least it sounds like the trip’s going to be Dry, Olga: that’s the key thing, I think.   (Exploring’s always wise: money permitting, I try and do the same thing: it’s not always possible, though, so I tend to rely on Google Maps.)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        I’m saying nothing, Debbi.   I’m very aware phone numbers can be fiddly!
