Thanks Simon!

I know how to generate keys (for my own use).
Before writing, went looking to see if some file(s) had been (somehow)
transferred to my m/c, but no - there was however, the key-set used to
access the instances Russell kindly provided for earlier FLOunder
meetings/tutorials (for example).

This key was generated as part of Terraform's working.
I'm not sure why - indeed, even if it was for me!
Theory: something I'll need if I ever want to update either/both of the
two containers built by the script...
