Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        It’s a pain, alright, Olga: and one they didn’t exactly warn me about.   I’ve hadother group ones, myself: including for the Body Shop, funnily, and for Apple, and a couple of similar marketing companies.   They all told me in advance what was happening.   This one didn’t.

        If it’s ANY help?   Mum usually access the blog through her phone: and usually keeps a note pad on her armchair: she’s in Kent for the next few days, seeing an old friend.   She’s on Android, if it’s any reassurance!   It’s good to know you’ve got everything else organised!

        Have fun at Sant!

†        Hello, Mum!   (It was Despicable Me 2 … !)

‡        Yeah, I noticed you did, Debbi!   I ended up with Sweet Dreams, My LA Ex as an earworm.   For a week!
