Only just back online... and got work to do... .

Go on, vindepaysdescôtesdutarn, quit lurking and give it a shot!

R you going to sit around on your Rs, blushing and munching coleslaw, or R you going to Retaliate with an epic R for us?

I trust the return of Lady Flay has brought the sunshine back into your life?

Hmmm, no it brought back the syndrome of: "what have you been doing while I was away? The place is in a mess... That hasn't been done... You're more interested in that Radio 3 message board than paying me any attention..."

The paté is on the toast, the coleslaw is blobbed on top

I am trying to work part-time now but have spent most of my morning off doing the dreaded paperwork. Looking at lab results is incredibly time-consuming (because most are abnormal and require attention)

Never mind, I am sufficiently distracted to Raise an R:

One is inexorably reminded of Mrs Mainwaring, never seen but always the subject of ominous reports from Capt. Mainwaring and others...!

(I bet you're having us on, I bet The Lady Flay is a lovely and patient woman...

She must be!! )

Her patience is wearing thin these days.

But she does exist. Here is a picture of her at Le Visham station (this is genuine):

OH I was in no doubt that she existed! It was just the portrait that I suspected.

Great photo! That grey uniform and helmet really suit her!!

Why so?

[Quarky]

Well, ondes martinot and thereimin are two of his favourite instruments.

Swallow - bird theme.

And you may have committed my favourite mistake by using the word "mess"!

Good thinking, but I shall save you from that weedy garden path: it's not Olivier. And the previous chatter was unrelated jovial gossip.

Vingt Regards,
