*        Hello, Mum!

†        I’m keeping my fingers crossed, Olga.   (Ozempic gives me a mild case of the jitters, when I use it: much like have a Diet Coke, or a strong coffee.   Trulicity doesn’t.   Why, I don’t know.)

‡        There’s another package on route, Debbi!

        Hmmm … I think Rick’s got mixed up!   There’s no chocolate Jaffa cakes … but there are Chocolate Dodgers … !
