a young student came up to me and asked what was taking place. "It's a fish fight," I said. "But what," he frowned, like Roland Barthes, "Do you actually mean?" Alas, it is exactly what it sounds like. I thought the funniest thing about that was the way you apologised to him for it once you'd explained... [giggle]
Was of course v good to see you. Did notice your hand but said nothing as assumed it was just a scratch-I see now that it's a bit more than that! Gosh, that cat... [grin]
