17th July, 2019.
Right … it’s a Wednesday.
Officially, a Wednesday.
And, if it isn’t?
My calendar is lying.
At any rate … ?
I’m actually due a delivery, today: of a new oven.
Between 11:30 and 15:30.
Hopefully? They’ll be able to get the new one in, and the old one, out, in good time.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.

“Emojis are by no means taking away from our written language but rather accentuating it by providing a tone that words on their own often cannot. They are, in a sense, the most evolved form of punctuation we have at our disposal.”Emmy J. Favilla.
And a song …
