*        Hello, Mum!

        I will do, Olga: in fact, I think I did, when I spoke to Gill, yesterday.   He’s bored — in part — because getting to his phone and laptop is fiddly.   (The nurses are busy: and he has to have something called an ‘air chair’.)

        I’m keeping my fingers crossed, Debbi.   (His big problem’s boredom, I think: his laptop and phone are on the bedside cabinet, it seems, and he needs help to get to him!)

4 comments:

  1. Q1) Italy

    Q2) Tangerine Dream

    Q3) Bute

    Q4) Antoninus Pius

    Q5) Duran Duran
    I hope he can go back home soon, although it sounds as if he will need help for a while, so it might not be practical.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
