* Yep, they’re still going that, Olga: my next one’s should be in February. If I’ve understood it correctly, this was to check if I needed any extra monitoring. About the one thing the podiatrist — and my regular foot care specialist — have suggested, is getting some urea based foot cream: which will have to wait a few days, I think. (I just searched for some on Sainsbury’s website. The results included two different packets of Bourbon cream biscuits …)
Yeah: Sex Lives of the Potato Men could feature, somewhere. We’ll just have to see if there’s a World Potato Day, at some point!
Sneaking? Sneaking?????!!? Ha!

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.

Yes, that makes sense. And the urea cream as well.
Surely there must be a Potato Day! If not, it's time we start a petition somewhere!

Oh, the temptation! I'll either watch it and write a mocking review or give it the old MST3K treatment. :)
