Dear Uncle Dick,
Not heard from you since the Great Storm, was quite worried. Are they
hammerheads in your pond, thought they were koi carp from the triangular
dorsals....  We have a way back in the Old Country of dealing with witches
in a large format stool over/into under/ water. If you get it wrong it
mightn't matter.
Anybody got any drawings for making a bag bellows for a monorail.  Framework
at each end I can manage but what shape are the bag components cut out for
sewing/glueing?  Anybody done this?
If I could buy one I would but where?
Your respectful nephew Philip
