In the wake of the CT scan I had, a couple of month ago.

*        Best I can do on the Singing’ in the Rain front, Olga?   Is a BBC Worldwide has blocked this video in your county notice!   I wouldn’t mind … except I’m in the UK, the BBC’s home turf.   I’d expect to be able to watch a clip from a UK TV show!   Some of the Dr Who clips I’ve posted get the same response.   Yet almost identical ones posted on YouTube by BBC America?   Quite happily play!   (I keep thinking of International Rescue, whilst the Thai situation’s been happening: it’s the ‘other’ name for the Thunderbirds.   And keep thinking a real world equivalent would be handy!   The real-world International Rescue Committee is an organisation for refugees, so you know.)

†        My mum and my two sisters are all tennis fans, Debbi: apparently?   The strawberries are nice … but very expensive!   (OUTSIDE of that?   Took me a while to work out how tennis is basically played.   It’s still less confusing than cricket!)
