Thank you for coming: have a good day.
* Hello, Mum!
† Hmmm … I don’t have kids, either, Olga: unless you count Jude! I might have to light s candle to her, myself!
Have a good afternoon at the do. Is it for type one, or type two, or both?
You know, the woman in the blue dress looks familiar … !
‡ Very much so, Debbi. I do know that — at one point — Clive Barker wanted to hire Pascal Laugier, the director of Martyrs, to take on the Hellraiser reboot. Which could’ve been interesting, let’s put it that way!

Thanks, Paul. It was for Diabetes type I. They are an association of parents, relatives and people with diabetes (all ages, there was a little girl with a pump as well), and they want to get money for research, hoping for a cure. There were a lot of people. I talked to a 114 y.o. boy whose parents run a cake shop, so just imagine... (It seems a pretty good one, as they won an award to the best cream "coca" in Catalonia). Although they brought some coca, I didn't try it. It was raining buckets when I went there, and I had to rush to return the tape recorder and the camera to the radio station before they closed it for the evening (in fact, the director was already closing). Interesting but tiring.
I'm off later today. I'm sure I'll say hi on Twitter at the very least, but let's see. It seems it rained very heavily in the area where we are staying, so I hope things are OK.
