26th January, 2021.

Right … 

I’ve got — in theory — a dentist check up, this afternoon.

Although, given the last one was re-arranged for today … ?

And that I’ve not heard whether it’s going ahead … ?

I’m not sure if it’s on, or not!

Here’s hoping.

*        It’s looking nasty again, today, Trevor, I know that.   Hopefully, I should stay upright, heading into town.

†        I think, Olga, that politicians the world over like favourable airtime.   Not that that’s guaranteed, but there we go!   I’ll keep my fingers crossed, though: that Salvador Illa, and anyone else seeking election runs into the Catalan equivalent of Jeremy Paxman!

(If you can keep you’re fingers crossed on the money front?   I think we’re going to need it.)

‡        Hello, Mum!

^        Actually, it’s not to bad, Debbi.   Although, granted, I’ve only had it once!   With gravy.   Anyone Scottish who finds that out, would give me a look!

ª        That she does, Edith.   (Tipsy trifle?   Thanks, Edith, that’s made my morning! :D )
