*        I’m keeping my fingers crossed, Olga.   From the few figures I could find — and follow! — the chances of thyroid cancer seem low.   And, while the stuff isn’t specifically been licensed for weight loss use, it has some effect, I’m told.   About my only worry, is whether they’d fit in my sharps bin: it’s only built for the detachable needles on Ozempic pens.

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Go right on ahead, Debbi!   (Oh … Bonnie Langford’s — Mel, the Sixth Doctor’s companion — been spotted on the set of Dr Who.   Apparently, she’s reprising her role, for season 14.)
