than a sigh, it means we have reflections on still water, or did have earlier

was well ready for breakfast when I got back to Ivy: where I found a phone message from Jimmy, so
had a quick ‘breakfast’ then along to “No 10” to rescue his sticks from the

afternoon; although haar may be an annoyance.....
as will pollution levels, from Northern Europe, according to some forecasters.
