Aunt Phythian UpdateFriends I was looking amongst my journals and came across this dated message from someone who obviously knows me and of my aunt, but whose identity at the moment escapes me

Robert, while out walking with my dog this cold bright morning I fell to musing about your Aunt. It must cause great distress not knowing her present circumstances. Not to know whether her fate lay on a plate at a Pigmy party, or trapped in a freight lift in a DIY centre in Milton Keynes. She may be happily ensconced in a bungalow in Bognor, doing The Times Crossword with one hand and writing letters to the editor with the other, (I believed you mentioned she was ambiguous) pointing out inaccuracies in the previous weeks obituaries. She is perhaps living with genteel economy in a hotel in Hastings, singing “Come on Eileen” on Wednesdays Sing for your supper night at the Godwinson Revenge Tavern and Tandoori.
How very dreadful not to know the whereabouts of your esteemed Aunt Phyian, what joy it would bring could you restore her to the bosom of your family. Then I had an epiphany. In these days of the World Wide Web it would surely be possible to track her down. How many Aunts Pthyians can there be. Oh by the way I think Effluvia Faux-Oracle may well have known her, because on perusing her journal, (the bulk of her estate having been left to the Ephemera Society) I found this entry from 1957, “I have received this morning two very fine samples of cloacopapyrologica (unused) sent to me from Papua New Guinea by my good friend Robert’s Aunt Phithyan” Sorry I digress, to return to my epiphany.
Make of it what you will.
PS,
here is a word Mags & a few others may need to look up,
cloacopapyrologica
