12th June, 2023: Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Well … I’m up early … !

Officially early, if you want me to put it like that.

And on a busy Monday.

Frankly?

I’ve my weight management class, this morning.

And a dentist’s appointment, this afternoon.

And I’m planning to watch The Mandalorian, tonight.

Busy … possibly doesn’t even start!

*        Hello, Mum!

†        That’s a thought, I should maybe get suncream, Olga!

        The Zumba guy sounds vaguely like the singer in the band, at Mum’s recent birthday day: she managed to drag me onto the dance floor.   My knees still haven’t forgiven me!   Either way, a breeze sounds good!

        Oh, did I mention I’ve got Yes, Prime Minister on the go?   It’s still sunny!   (I think I’m going to have to catch up with The Thick of It, though: get something more recent, under my belt.)

‡        I hope so, Debbi!
