Have a good day.

*        It’s a beautiful part of the world, Olga.   To my shame, I’ve never actually been!   My family’s got it’s roots, there.   As for IndyRef2?   Boris has already put his foot down on it.   Which is a shame: but also means a second referendum is a long way off, given the new government’s majority.   Fingers crossed.   (From what I learnt of the 2014 referendum?   The SNP are on good terms with Catalunya’s independence movement.)

†        Oh, boy, Groundhog Day!   One of these days, Debbi, I’m going to have to watch that.   Once I’ve finished Dr Who.   And Star Trek Picard.   And For All Mankind.   And El Ministerio del Tiempo … Talking of Dr Who, you might want to hold off reading the review, for a while: but Trevor has put a comment on, and isn’t happy.
