Blimey …
Right at the moment … ?
I’m feeling quite chipper.
Which is surprising: as my guts were seriously playing up, yesterday.
To the point I had to go home early. (NOT something I wanted: and something that’s getting seriously resented by co-workers.)
On the upside?
I had an old friend pop in on me, after work.
And didn’t get to bed until late.
The surprising bit?
Like I say, is feeling very chipper this morning.
Weird.

And this tune …
Have a good day.
* That’s OK, Olga, as it’s you, I’ll let you off! (From the little I’ve seen? Most right-handers tend to not to be good at doing things with their left hand: but us lefties tend to find switching hands fairly easy!)
† Welcome back aboard, Angel, good to see you here!
‡ There’s a woman who know’s where I’m coming from! They help pay the bills, don’t they Debbi? But, Lordy … !
