*        Hello, Mum!

†        I remember you mention the pastries, Olga: they sound great.   Me being me, I could probably find an excuse to have them any time of the year!

        Fireworks at this time of year do sound risky, I think.   Given the way the climate’s been going, a mis-fired one could be nasty.

        I’ll have to keep an eye open for that: after I’ve finished making the next set of videos.   I’ve got Dune Pt 2 pencilled in, as well.

‡        You’re right, there, Debbi!   I don’t think they could do Pulp Fiction, either: waaay too many uses of the N-word!

        Oh, did I mention I’ve got “Hegemony” on in the background?   The most recent episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?   Rebecca Romaijn is very good as Number One!
