*        I’ve not checked the bank, yet, Olga‡.   I figured I can take my time, though, as I still have some money on the pre-paid card I’ve got.

‡        We have similar issues in some London parks, Olga: they have a lot of Ring Necked Parakeets flying about.   According to an old urban myth, they’re descended from a pair released by Jimi Hendrix, back in the 1960s!
