8th October, 2026.
Right, then: I’m up late.
Or, at least, up later than I’ve been up for the past three days!
So … ?
Getting an extra hour’s sleep is nice: even though it means I’ve got inconvenient sunlight coming through my windows!

In case you’re wondering: yes, I do know what a fluffernutter is.
Yes: there is a question about them in today’s Teaser.
No: I don’t want one.
Frankly, a Marmite and ketchup sandwich sounds like a healthier option!

I don’t have many, myself.
But the country has a lot, floating about.
These include notes with either King Charles 3rd, or his late mother, and with Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, J. M. W. Turner and Alan Turing: depending on the denomination.
They’re … handy.
Especially if you’ve got a lot of them.
But … ?
The historical figures are due to be replaced with assorted fluffy animals.
I get why.
Replacing people with animals is being done because the King’s supported many Green campaigns, over the years.
This shows his interest in the subject: and, more importantly, allows the printers of the notes to update the security features.
Which is the important bit.
But … ?
On a personal front, I’m mildly disappointed.
I’m something of a fan of the late Alan Turing: seeing him replaced by a hedgehog is …
Well …
Disappointing …
