Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (Who’s dropping Jude off, today … ?)

†        I think everyone’s managed to do photos like that, Olga: any photographer that’s seen my Instagram feed will probably be shocked!   I THINK I’ve cut someone in half, as well!

        As for Romeo and Juliet?   I think the case is going be a mess: I get the impression the time involved in these historical cases will make these things tricky, whatever evidence we’re talking about.

‡        I have to admit, I’ve never seen it, Debbi: it’s supposed to be something to watch.

        Oh, I’ve managed to send over Assignment 1: I hope you enjoy it.   (Adventure Two — set in an abandoned station — is the best one.)
