*        You were in a turban, Olga … ?   I’m going to have to have another look at those photos: I think I missed that!

        (It sounds like Trevor could’ve done with the nail varnish tip!)

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Elbows in, eh?   I’ll be honest Debbi, I’m getting images of The Good Life: at least I think it was The Good Life.   In one episode, the main characters take skiing lessons.   They have a dictatorial, Swiss, skiing instructor who keeps yelling “Bend ze kneez!”

§        What, a retired Lancaster, Trevor?   The nearest I got to a Lancaster was the anti-aircraft gun the Peniel Church had on their lawn.   Quite why they had a WW2 anti-aircraft gun on their lawn, I don’t know!   (How are you with nail varnish, Trevor … ?)
