† Oh, it’s tasteless, Olga … ? There’s possibly a joke or two, there, but point taken! I tend to go for brown rice, when I do buy it. It lasts for quite a while: and brown rice plays better with my general diet.

Here we have the Cinema Festival where you can get cheaper cinema tickets for a few days, so I'll see if Ican go this afternoon with my mother...
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.
