I do not much read your English newspapers being of the opinion they all have a hatchet to grind (English idiom). But I do buy the 'i' for the excellent crossword. Not cryptic but concise one. I cannot be bothering one's head with the cryptic - one would need the mind of the ladies of Bletchley. Oh yes, I have been watching 'The Bletchley Circle' again.

Do you remember when we are visiting this place and looking at room where Alan Turing worked and observing his cup chained to radiator? (I do not think was original cup but just to show how he chained cup to radiator. This demonstrating how genius can also be eccentric) Also he had squeaky bicycle and everyone could hear him coming when he rides around the grounds.
(Does this not indicate meanness of British government? That man who works so tirelessly to crack German Enigma Code is not seen to be worth expenditure of a little oil for his bicycle?) 

You have still not published selfie. What are you trying to do is to be getting people all anticipated to be seeing photo of self (which is why called 'selfie') This is wrong thing to be doing because when people anticipate too much they may be disappointed at when eventually they see photo, and say - well, what was all that about.

And another thing you have not been doing is getting sticking onto the writing. And then will you be complaining of how broke up you are with no money. What you are needing is the personal assistant which I refuse to be because I am too busy studying. And that is reminding me - I may change title of dissertation. This is not because of critical remarks you are making but because topic is too easy, there being masses and masses of evidence readily available to make one's case. It would be like what the Americans say - shooting the fishes swimming in the barrel. But why would the Americans want to do this?

Anyway, enough of this suppositioning - I have work to do.

Oh, have had telephone call from brother Sven, asking when can you return to him Polaroid camera.
