....and what was to come up this easter sunday evening, then?...a 'very hungry caterpillar'...the river ILL....something that the Italian team had known would lead me to the following...a location...Bodensee....in which, my father had filmed whilst rather drunk, according to my mother...in short, they had taken a ferry and he had filmed a seagull flying overhead for most of the 5 min supa-8 footage....(a seagull?...well, I suppose it is possible, you used to find shells upon the 'beaches' of lac neuchatel)....uncle Michael had laughed at the supa-8 footage shown, at 14 st bernards...oh and I didn't go on that holiday - must have been about 16 years old, then....i.e. didn't have to go on family holidays...had my own passport etc etc....but the rest of them, had gone...1980, let me see....I had been on the MI5 Russian course, at the time...it figures....see previous notes upon that 'round the world trip'....additionally, roll on the decades to that golden anniversary 'do' at the pier hotel and afterwards, the Harwich electric theatre....where my parents were to show a 'golden oldie' film....I didn't attend that screening, either (I had to catch a bus back to Clacton)...but apparently, according to my mother...uncle Michael had laughed through the beginning...of a seagull in flight...overhead...a bit like that Bodensee footage?...and the rest is in urls and snips...beginning with what the Italian team had known about a certain Strasbourg school...."call it 'copybot' school"....ENA (remember my mother's jooish friend 'ena'?)....which 'crap taxidermy' had wanted to send his son to..."and you can be president of france"....go figure:
