The planes in Spain are mainly on the plains. The cinco was a cuatro yesterday as the fellow who is the "area fiesta manager" was having a tooth out. Our latest tune being "The Blue Danube".
"Everybody like this tune?" asks Jordi the teacher.
"Oh yes," everybody says.
"Not Rosana (that's me in Spanish). She's lying", he says.
I was indeed.

Anyway, this is the music that started my love affair with stringed instruments.

All at Sea

Rain, rain, rain. The triffid plant now has ten fingers and three hands. The French have arrived with their hunting dogs. Alice who used to be Frank has gone to England so Holly is staying here. She is the size of a wheelbarrow and sleeps with a teddy bear clasped in her massive paws. Arthur is in a snit so is having his afternoon nap in a cupboard.
