Thank you, everyone!
Especially regular commenter, Debbi: whose contribution to my iMac repair fund came through, this morning!
Cheers, Debbi!
Hopefully?
Come Friday, when the repair is due to be finished, those contributions will be money well spent!
I caught the first episode of The Mayfair Witches, on the iPlayer, last night.
That first episode?
Tonally, it was ever so slightly The Witches of Eastwick meets Dynasty: but entertaining enough.
So I thought I'd watch the second episode.
The cast of the opening scenes? Of the few minutes I saw?
Had just about acceptable Irish accents: just about acceptable, Hollywood Irish accents.
Perfectly acceptable, Hollywood Irish accepts.
Apart from one small, minor, trivial, detail.
No, seriously, a minor detail.
The scene was set in Scotland.
I turned off.
Understandably!
Let’s move on, shall we?

Pope Francis, 17 December 1936.

* Hello, Mum!

The morning has proved very busy and cold, especially considering the event was taking place outdoors, but I think it went well, although after so many interviews, I've got little voice left. Thankfully, I don't have to do a lot of talking this evening at the telethon...
I have a class with Jordi tomorrow morning (if I manage to get up after the early morning finish) and have to go to the radio in the afternoon, but I hope I'll be able to catch up. And great news about Debbi's contribution. She's a star.
Took me long enough. I've been so busy. Like one thing after another. Before you know, there goes a week. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help. Lord knows, you've been a help.
