Well if I dreamed it Candice it must be a collective hallucination as others
have commented on it. I really don't know what you mean about me getting all
folly-a-doh with Erminia.

To Jill, much thanks, the bit I'm sneakily pleased with is 'risible

And I do recall Flanders and Swann!
And to Rob, haven't had the misfortune of reading today's Armitage, but yes,
pataphysics rules!
Best
Dave
