....and now for a few bits 'n' bobs, dazzlenation.....first up - oscar had been planning upon a swim - remember mermaid's beach at manningtree....but after we'd discussed it, again....he had then decided to check the water....regarding the river that flows into the sea.....of manningtree estuary.....hmmm....later on, i was to take photos of that 'scene'....where we were supposed to take a dip....the water looked contaminated....a bit like light brown sewage floating around?......although people were out on their deckchairs and children were playing in it....'not good', eh?

.....additionally, having figured that 'minty' woman driver might be on my return route - dazzlenation....lol....i decided to take the train back to clacton...to then be told at manningtree station, by a very nice and 'apologetic' lady at the office...that there was a train strike on and therefore NO trains to clacton.....hmmm....i then walked out of the station, to meet pat's boyfriend, who had just parked his black car, down the road and had got out....as i passed by...he was to mutter that it had all been a dreadful mistake...a bit of a catastrophe, eh.....and yes, i can remember recommending what type of car etc etc....in the city, he used to drive around something alot more 'impressive' let us say but having had it scratched, in manningtree..."went downmarket" replies BI online....oh and we had all known, at the time - so many years ago, now...that linda and her 'thugs' or 'sons' as she calls them...would be round to 'jump' pat 'n' dad's army boyfriend, at some point...it was just a case of 'when', i suppose....see previous notes upon 'all of that'.

....and what else?...well. whilst upon the topic of 'dad's army'...i can remember lisa mentioning it, at the prague DTO british council - circa 1994.....she was to tell me that i was going to play the scottish recruit.....and when i asked 'why'....in relation to glaswegian clare and that young chap from edinburgh, being in the staffroom, at the time...but not 'susan sinclair' i might add....well, clare was to laugh...."if you can do it, do it!"....i then asked lisa...precisely 'what' it was, that i was supposed to be doing, as scottish member of dad's army etc etc...."roll your eyes around and talk about stuff nobody really understands"....hmmm....and then i 'got' it....remember 'the simpsons' and willy the scottish caretaker with his ability to 'shin'....in short, the remote-viewer's position upon the team.

....and there's more - dazzlenation....once at no. 6 i decided to clean the garden up....which included finding uncle bobby's 3 step masonic ladder, in order to use it to take the black 'hood' off of a massive parasol number, with a mechanical lever....that oscar was to use in order to open it up, once i had etc etc....reminded me of that 'kate bush' number with donald sutherland....lol.....oh and bobby had broken the first step of that ladder - to try and stop anybody from using that ladder again....all symbolic, you understand....and yes, bobby had walked away, laughing at the time....hmmm....no wonder sylvia had been out to get him..."lowest of the low"....precisely that....oh and his new partner was to joke that he was a real 'peter pan' after i had complimented him at the doorway..."looking as young as ever, bobby!"....and he did...looked younger than when i had met him in 2011 at that 'golden anniversary' bash.......hmmm.... a bit of cosmetic surgery, perhaps?....lost a lot of weight etc etc....hmmm....recently oscar was to tell me that bobby had been the oldest and yes, i can remember now....it was bobby who had told me that he was "the middle one"....hmmm.....remember pat's department interviewing bobby and michael regarding sylvia's treehouse accident?....michael would probably have been too young, to remember but bobby.....well, that's one big question mark - isn't it...as it goes, eh?

....additionally, linda's mob along with ingabot 'n' weale etc etc....had left so many 'shitty' programming objects around no. 6's back garden....that i was to simply 'bin' the lot of it, in the end...i.e. fill up that large black 'compost' container, with all of those filthy items.....oh and linda had also left a 'link' under the fence, to the neighbours....remember - they had attended that pier hotel 'golden anniversary' event...and so in short, i would guess that they might well have had a hand in etc etc.....see previous notes upon the husband getting a handle upon john baker/dr craig etc etc....go figure.

....and what else - dazzlenation?..well, i was to give that patricia robert's white cardigan a good 'wash', once i had got home to clacton....and guess what...it was saturated with dried in 'fairy liquid'.....no prizes for guessing 'why'....see previous posts....go figure.

...and a little bit more - dazzlenation....and this regards dressing gowns....because sylvia is particularly attached to that archer-crime-scene-dressing-gown.....remember how she had had two and sent me one of them...covered in etc etc.....hmmm....i need to send oscar a few tips, as to where to buy her some new ones, that she will wear....she has a couple of others but they are 'itchy/scratchy'etc etc....what she wants is something wonderfully soft....it doesn't matter if it is synthetic etc etc....go figure.

....and what else?...well 5 years ago now - sylvia was to send me a letter from no. 2 goffers house....which she had spelt 'goffas' for some reason but anyway, the letter is entirely fluent....no 'craziness' or anything like that...completely 'sane' - no signs of dementia etc etc.....hmmm...perhaps they had  been renting no. 2 and then bought no. 4 - two years ago, according to oscar.....i digress - anyway, sylvia talks about going to see a play by alan bennett....'Allelujah'......along with an article cutting about jaywick.....and a note about how much oscar enjoys half price lobster sandwiches at the pier hotel harwich....anyway, my point here is this....oscar was to say that the 'troubles' had started a year ago - upon his birthday - during a family dinner in london....my siblings and their spouses had been present but i had not been....after that dinner - sylvia was diagnosed as having cancer and began that slow descent into 'dementia' etc etc.....hmmm....anyway, ingabot 'n' weale had 'jumped' oscar after that meal....as his friends were later on to point out...."it couldn't have been emily - she wasn't there - it must have been one of them" etc etc....see previous notes upon that blue 'railway puzzle' book used by weale as programming materials etc etc and yes, they had told oscar to blame it all upon me - if he were to remember, anything about it at all etc etc....as it goes, eh?

oh and one last note, regarding the maths - let us say....i digress....oscar tells me that sylvia only really likes one savoury meal, nowadays and that is breakfast i.e. eggs, bacon and a pitta bread...although one of her support ladies has found out that she likes cheese sandwiches, too.....anyway, according to oscar - apparently wilde had said that the full english breakfast was so good, you could eat for breakfast, lunch and supper....lol....and so i brought around a couple of quiches, on saturday morning...from morrison's clacton....and so they were to eat quiche lorraine for breakfast, instead....hmmm....remember toddy as 'che'....che guevara?....qui-che...."cherchez-le-mathematician" replies BI online....more laughter....go figure.
