*        Hello, Mum§!

†        Albergínia Vincent is obviously Aubergine Vincent’s kid sister, Olga§!   I’m going to apologise about the aubergine in a skirt: my imagination got away with me!!

        At any rate … ?   I’ve lost half a kilo: just over a pound.   That’s something to be pleased with!

Albergínia Vincent!

‡        Oh, the Bowie video would, Debbi§: I don’t know how much his video has to do with the movie, though!   It’s a bit like a UK equivalent to Grease: I get the impression the film didn’t go down too well.   (Eddie Temple has a minor part: and did well off it.)

        Nice to know thee therapy’s going well: I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

§        Just so everyone’s reminded?   Both tomorrow and Thursday are ten-question sets: about Staffordshire and David Beckham.
