2nd April, 2026: Casanova.

It’s officially official: it’s Thursday.

And?

I’ve got my usual quarterly diabetic review, later: the review where I find out my most recent blood test results.

Hopefully … ?

They’ll be ok.

We can safely say that my nephew, Jude, was here, yesterday, is getting slightly handy with Final Cut Pro, and thoroughly enjoying the app’s ability to alter sound effects.

I just wish I’d thought to ask him one thing.

“Jude, what is that trumpet noise you keep using … ?”

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Well, I’ve got the next ten question set written, Debbi‡: it’s for World Voice Day, on 16th April.

        Oh, so your niece is a shiksa: is that right … ?   I’m told ‘shiksa’ is slightly derogatory: but don’t know what the polite equivalent is.

        Oh, did you hear of a comedian called Modi Rosenberg?   He’s very Jewish, and very funny … !

‡        Then there’s Jessica Kirson, Debbi: she is hysterical!
