22nd December, 2019.
Yep: it’s Sunday.
A quiet Sunday … where I’m betting the shops are going to be jammed.
And the streets extremely damp.
Right at the moment … ?
At the moment, south east England isn’t having a heat wave or wildfires.
Quite the reverse.

Can I make a confession … ?
I’m in one or two Terry Pratchett groups, over on Facebook.
And, inevitably — as we’re talking about J. K. Rowling’s comment about transgender women — we get … language.
No, not THAT kind of language.
We get meaningless acronyms. Or, at least, acronyms we’ve never heard before, and would appreciate an explanation of.
The one that got me bothered? TERF. Apparently, it’s stands for Trans-Exclusionary-Radical-Feminist.
Granted, I realise that text messaging by phone encourages acronyms.
As do character restricted services like Twitter.
But … ?
On something like Facebook, or in a news article, essay, or even in a blog post, like this?
I’d appreciate an explanation of whatever it is you’re talking about.
