The night before last, I became involved in some long and complicated dream, whose details I forgot, with a long (and complicated) black serpent – but unlike the Frozen Serpent of a dream* some years ago, this one was slim, long, agile and friendly.

The day before I had been rather taken with a suggestion that a neighbour might sell me his Range Rover – new this year – in five years' time, when it will have done probably only a few thousand miles, for a couple of thousand pounds: its value new being between £17,000 and £20,000. I have for years rather fancied having a Range Rover.**

**Not long after this, I decided to spend £3,000 to £4,000, which we could ill afford, on a second-hand {Toyota} Tercel 4WD Estate car; only after test driving one incredibly badly did I finally give up this crazy idea. A narrow escape! <880307>
