hi people, thanks a bunch for attending the gig; i was told it was such a hit. Due to public demand there will be another one when we get out soon. I didnàt abandon you yesterday even though I didnàt write, our PA was out and about organising the gig. Can you give him a round of applause. So back to business, this was the most difficult day so far. I didnàt sleep at all the previous night. I couldnàt sleep in the day. I was so restless, waiting to hear from either the mp or the solicitor with that reassuring news, but there was none. My solicitor was, however, in touch all day but was equally waiting to here from the home office solicitors. It could have been easier today to squeeze water out of a rock than to send and receive a 3 page fax from this place. It tried my patience and I nearly snapped. But thank god we have been receiving a healthy flow of letters and cards. We are touched by peopleàs kindness. We hope to reply to all of them when we graduate from the university of life (yarls wood=)) I canàt believe I am laughing right now, I never thought it would have been possible, but a visit from chiara and some calls really made my day. I just canàt thank every one of you enough for the leg work, the hand work, the mental work, the financial work. We just can't say enough thanks to you guys. I think you guys are a bunch of people who are going to make the world a better place and we are proud of all you guys although we havne't seen each other physically, we know that you are what the world needs today. Thanks to our tutors at college and the students who attended the gig aswell. Keep it up kash and the rest of the cru!

Oh, I forgot to say- yesterday, there was a kind of fracas on the other wing. Some lady tried to commit suicide during lunchtime. It was kind of, you know, 'oh my god, this is the fifth attempt since the weekend' so I started wondering when the first actual fatality will be. I am sure all this can be stopped. Please keep your voices up for people like us in here. Thank you so much and we are always so grateful to you guys. Have yourself a nice weekend.

Mariah says hello but because we donàt have an answer tonight it is all a bit stressful, like a guillitine, so she isn't speaking.  but she is also so grateful for everything. God bless you.
