*        Swimming and drowning people, Olga?   I think most saints are like most gods: they get believers where they find them!

        I didn’t hear about the gig … but Obama and company’s restaurant visit made the news.   Apparently, the former president is friendly with a Spanish American celebrity chef, who’d suggested the place.   And, apparently, it’s Springsteen … complete with the E Street band.   It’s probably worth going, just for them, they have a very good reputation.

        Towels!   I knew there was something … !

†        Hello, Mum!
