Including one or two websites.

One of which — a charity that also publishes a quarterly magazine that’s published in a well known clothes shop — recently asked for volunteer contributors.

Guess who volunteered.

?

Hopefully?

I can motivate myself to come up with something for them.

It’d be … 

Well, I think it would be all sorts of good.

Have a good day!

*        That looks like a powerful movie, there, Olga: I might just have to check that out.   I don’t know if it and the novel takes a cue from the Bulger case … But I can’t help but wonder what happened to Ropbert Thmpson: effectively, the real world equivalent to Boy A.   (Venables, the other murderer … ?   Sounds like the nastier of the two.)

†        Just read it, Debbi!   Sounds like you’ve a LONG weekend ahead of you!   Here’s hoping I get to see it, at some point!
