* Hello, Mum … !
† Very true, Olga, very true!
At any rate … ? I had no luck, when I went into Tesco’s, yesterday. Apparently, the branch is too small to stock, everything. I suspect the same is true of the other branch in town. And I suspect buying online will involve a delivery charge: which would wipe out what ever money I save!
‡ Oh, that’s what they call it, Debbi … ? I wonder what Joseph Campbell would make of that … ? Which reminds me, I (possibly) need to get his The Hero with a Thousand Faces: it’s supposed to be very influential.
And you’re right: it didn’t … ! (Cheers for commenting on the review!)
Q5) District 9 They might have another suggestion easier to get hold of. One of my consultants used to put a lot of sugar on his tea and I always told him off for it. Eventuallly he had a serious health problem, and he couldn't have sugar, so he ended up changing tea for flavoured herbal teas, but I am not sure that would help with the money aspect of it. Or perhaps if somebody you know goes to a bigger supermarket might be able to get it for you, and you could stock up on it if you like it. (My father used to add plenty of salt to everything and after his heart attack he got used to eating food without added salt. Eventually one gets used to most everything. Just saying). Oh, I saw your comment to Debbie. I read the Hero With a Thousand Faces many years back, when I was writing my PhD thesis. I remember it was quite interesting, although I borrowed it from the library. You might be able to get it through an interlibrary loan if they don't have it at your local.
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.

Here's something I just found out. My great-grandfather has an IMDB.com listing!
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0532929/?ref_=tt_cl_i_8
I knew he was renown on the "Irish stage" in New York, but ... this surprised me a bit!
