I HAD woken up with Dr Feelgood’s All Through The City going through my head.

And, right now … ?

Frankly?   And given I’ve a Job Centre meeting, today?

I’m not in an especially good mood!

As a final thought … ?   I saw Sylvester playing Azdak in a Young Vic version of Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle, many years ago.   I would LOVE to have included it as a question.   But just couldn’t find a reference!

Have a good day.

*        There’s one relatively nearby, Olga: it’s just a case of getting it paid for!   And possibly getting a Windows based laptop … NOT what I’m happy about!
Hmmm … politics!   Nah: I did try getting involved, when a building around the corner got approved.   I think that was enough to put me off for life!   (Olga, are you getting issues with YouTube?)

†        Morning, Trevor!

‡       I’ll try and keep my eyes peeled, Debbi!   (Debbi, are you getting issues with YouTube?)
