*        Hello, Mum!

†        Hang on, Olga, The Boy With Green Hair?   That sounds twisty!   I might just have to add to my To Be Watched List.   That’s going to be a long time coming, though: what with Dr Who’s 60th, and For All Mankind series four, due.

        ‘Bother’, is putting it mildly!   It’s one that could’ve been made a lot easier … if the original message mentioned it would be a phone assessment!   That’s the thing that annoyed me!

        Ooooooooh … but the incident with the key sounds frustrating!   I don’t know how I’d cope!   But … ?   My front door lock has a knob — on the inside of my flat — that lets me lock my door, when I’m at home.   What I’d do if my key jammed … ?   Well … !

‡        Long day, Debbi … ?

        Oh, the Christmas Special — “The Church on Ruby Road” — has been announced.   After Disney leaked it a few weeks early.   The House of Mouse really knows how to annoy a broadcast partner … !
