Aaaaah! Giant forehead!
Using nail scissors I did surgery on my hat and replaced the flower with a cat pin. Now I am prepared for the Australian sunshine. Going to Melbourne and Victoria on Thursday.
(Newsflash: It’s cold and rainy in Melbourne. Yay! I have silly wellies.)
‘What happened to your other hat, the green one?’ It didn’t really fit, so I gave it to the marvelous Marion in New Zealand.
‘Which glasses are you going to wear with your new hat?’ These. The ones I found in a street market in Auckland; my optometrist made me prescription shades.
By the way if you want to buy a signed copy of Twisted 8 1/2, there are nine copies available at my optometrist’s. That’s Nella Sarabia, UP Shopping Center, Diliman QC, telephone 4355685. Get yourself a pair of sunglasses for the summer, she’s got the flexible bendy frames.

Ned has a funny election-related story. He spotted a group of street urchins outside a church and he couldn’t resist asking, “Nakaligo na ba kayo sa dagat ng basura?”
The urchins said, “Hindi ho, si Villar lang yon. Doon kami naliligo sa poso.”

Jessica, I hope you have some time to come to Sydney. To think you are so close and then miss it! Tragic.
Sydney beats Melbourne any day: more history, better monuments, better weather, more ethical rugby clubs, less gangland killings…
Hope you make the trek north. Drop us a line if you do.

Also, my copy of Twisted 8 1/2 came in the mail yesterday, so you’d be just in time to autograph it…
