Oh, that’s irritating! 

I’ve got a loose tooth.

On a Sunday!

Under a still restrictive Lockdown … 

OK, granted, I’ve messaged them on Facebook.

And I can either call or phone, tomorrow.

Still … irritating sums it up … !

~≈¥≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

From the Wikipedia entry on Kargil Vijay Diwas.

And a video …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

*        Oh, my GOD, I wondered’s where they got the look for The Mask, Olga^!

At ANY rate … ?   The article I’m working on is about Brentwood High Street: which has been closed off to traffic, temporarily.   Frankly, disabled access is … looking iffy, let’s put it that way.   If I can mention how places like Amazon have hit the High Street, as well?   That can help.   It’s turning into something of an op-ed, I know that.

That’s definitely interesting news about the Ministry!   I do know something was happening, as the Netflix page is now officially down.   I’m assuming something’s up … !

†        This lot, Trevor^?    Interesting to see the big iron doing the rounds.   Last time I saw something that size, I was working as a cleaner for a local insurance company: I got to mop the server room over on Ongar Road.   From what I recall?   You had to use plain hot water: as the detergent we used was considered too corrosive.   Plus you had to be very careful how you mopped.   You couldn’t get water near the machinery.   The upside was that the floor dried very quickly: as the server racks put out a lot of hot air.   (Oh, strictly, the answer is still Washington: from what I can see from Olga and you have mentioned, the signing in October was the official one.   Washington was the publicity one …)

Oh, I’m glad I’m not in Linus Sebastian’s shoes!

‡        That first episode was very good, Debbi^.   And if you have a taste for Clint Eastwood Westerns, it’ll seem familiar!   (Actually it seems very noir: but what do I know?! 😀 )

^        I have to admit, today’s subject is one of the odder ones I’ve covered!
