*        I know, Olga, that’s why I’ve got that clip bookmarked.   :D #Barcelona … !   And now you mention political about faces … ?   Just don’t mention vaccines: the EU’s just set the record … !

Now I think of it, Olga?   I think there’s restaurants named after Sir Stamford Raffles: and a brand of cigarettes!

ª        Morning, Edith: how’s the day looking?
