Glad you enjoyed the latest chapter/letter. As for the seagull - a Chinese restaurant in Dublin was fined many years ago for passing off seagull as chicken. Doner kebabs have compressed meat on a rotating skewer. Supposedly lamb . . .

Mighty piece. Packs an emotional punch to match the physical one in the story.

Really enjoyed the dialogue between Deb and Daire and the whole scene you described was so evocative of Deb's pain ... as was the incident of the kebobs... seagull meat?!
