30th November, 2025: Saint Andrew’s Day.
In the midst of the words he was trying to say, in the midst of his laughter and glee …
He suddenly realised he left someone off of the Christmas card list!
Thankfully?
I’m going to eternally grateful I’ve got a couple of cards and stamps left!
~≈🎄≈~
At any rate … ?
It’s Saint Andrew’s Day.
So … ?
I’ve been over-using ChatGPT, again!
And using ‘Ewan McGregor’ and ‘Peter Capaldi’ as prompts.
Hopefully, I won’t get into trouble, there … !

It seems the fire on Friday … has now been picked up by the BBC’s news site: and can be found, here.
And, while they and other news sites aren’t saying so … ?
There’s talk — talk, mind! — that someone died in the blaze.
If that’s truly the case … ?
I can only hope the fire was accidental: a chip-pan fire, say, or an overheating tumble dryer.
If it were deliberate … ?
And someone died … ?
That’s not arson, but murder …
