OTHER NOTES:

....I remember now...a certain team that had infiltrated MI6...they weren't 'deadheads' and had to pass themselves off as such...into the grainstore and out again...difficult enough to get in but to get out again? they were duly recaptured and taken for a reprogramming session...no, it was something worse...at the floral shop in maidenhead...."not recyclable"....however they managed to escape...and leave the following clues....

those black boxes....in relation to piano black keys....one of them was to take a photo on their phone....of those boxes 'in the mirror' and then label each with their real names...before entering MI6....additionally they were behind that whole 'roman emails' news event...and so I would guess that is part of the memory aid puzzle to be worked out....

the black piano keys....let me see...gill said G sharp and I said A minor....somewhere between the two...just below middle C...

Oh and sweets were also to come up...firstly the 'usual' in terms of the black and white keys....sponge fingers for white keys....and those 'after eight' chocs....the stick variety....along with chocolate fingers....and oddly enough those white and pink 'bonbons'...dusted with icing sugar....toffee inside...(Helen browne's favourite - I can remember recommending them to the clayton grandparents....and grandma clayton's dentures sticking together - whilst we were on the street...she had to take them out in the end...)

what else? the song 8 DAYS A WEEK by the BEATLES....and a member of Whitehall telling the captured team "I am the octopus - you are in the octopus' garden"....oh and that 'silk road' presenter...what was his name again? he had been present...an ill cult programmer at that floral shop....

...what else? something around the similarities and differences between a military operation and a surgical operation....donna had told me recently..."it's my birthday...no, I don't want flowers...the last time I had flowers - was after my operation"....go figure...

...surgical operations often involve 'cutting the skin and taking something out'....

....military operations often involve working out 'how to get in and then how to get out again'....

...I would guess that we are looking at a military operation into the 'body politic' of the roman-centurion-coil-in-the-brain camp....go figure....
