of dustin hoffman.heer me up. one of my most favourite memories ofjohnny, for some unfathomable reason, we all seem to have dustin hoffman as dresses as sheepin have dustin hoffman as dresses as sheep in lot of... i can't remember why. i think one of my most precious memories is him holding hooves with memories is him holding hooves with me while being a dustin hoffman chief. ronni ancona, a lovely thought to end on. now the weather with helen willetts. good evening. we've had some sharp showers around today, they'll continue through this evening particularly in the north and the west but elsewhere through the night they will tend to fade away except around some of the coasts and under the starry skies and with the winds falling light, it is going to be a cold night. the first widespread frost for england and wales of the season. chilly for northern ireland, southern scotland as well but with a bit of cloud and breeze hanging on in the north, here are not as chilly. but of course they could also be with
