*        Oh, blimey!   Wish her well for me, Olga!   Hopefullly, she’ll come out doing well!

†        I’ll try and hit the Happy Birthday button, then, Trevor: as and when.   You know, the Mac version of LibreOffice isn’t quite so invasive …

^        It’s been years since I’ve read it, myself, Debbi.   Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve read Strata, or The Carpet People.   (As I recall?   Strata has an interesting currency: the basic equivalent to a dollar/pound, is the Day note.   You can buy genetic treatment to extend you life by a day, with it.)

ª        It’s been years since I’ve seen the series, myself, Edith.   (Speak without Words?   I’ll have to try And look that up.)
