When I first saw this subject line, I thought it wanted to cure hopes naturally. I can do that by myself, spam. I don't need anyone's assistance to stop my hopes in their tracks.

The mechanic rang me on Tuesday. He was going to Melbourne on Wednesday to scour the city for a car that met my unreasonable vehicular demands. I want one that (a) is small, (b) goes, (c) is not grey or silver or in any way road-coloured, and (d) has manual transmission. It's (d) that is the sticking point, apparently. Small manual cars are hard to come by. But, as I said, he rang on Tuesday to say I'd never believe what had just driven in. "A young lady, she's bought this car from her grandmother, but she needs something bigger for work so she wants to sell it. It's a three-door hatchback, manual. And it's red." Which, as it happens, is the exact description of poor old Freddie, so I have a type. Anyway, he gave it his seal of approval, so I took it for a test drive on Thursday. There's still all the paperwork to do, which will be slowed down by everything shutting down for a week of public holidays, but at least things are in motion.

My work has a second-hand book fair each Easter, which I went to today. I mean, I would have gone anyway, because I love a second-hand book fair. I came away with, amongst other things, a 1970 publication called The Sound of Music for Beginner Piano. It's great, but it doesn't have The Lonely Goatherd in it. All that yodelling must be too advanced for beginners.
