Hmmm …
That’s … sad …
I’ve found out my Uncle Ray died, yesterday …
I’m …
Well, I’m not grieving, per se.
Which will sound strange, I know.
But I never actually got to know Uncle Ray as well as I could: I was never especially close to his end of the family.
I think that’s the loss I’m feeling.
Not so much the loss of a family member.
But the loss of a family member I never had the chance to know better.
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Trevor*, Olga† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with Trevor and Olga scoring four out of five, and Debbi scoring five. (However, Trevor and Olga do make the very good point that Winnie the Pooh — the character — was named after a teddy owned by Milne’s son: in turn, named after Winnipeg, a black bear at London Zoo.)
Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?
Here they are, along with the How To, License and video …
Have a good day.
* Morning, Trevor! Say hello to Olga and Debbi, would you … ?
† Welcome back, Olga! Would you believe it, the wrench has turned up — which means I can fix the washing machine — but the teapot hasn’t! Thanks, Amazon! (Oh, just in case you DIDN’T know, Trevor’s a returning regular.)
‡ Oh, my pleasure, Debbi! They’s all in glorious 1080, so you know! I’ll see if I can’t send over something else, as well … ! (Oh, Trevor left his answers, so you know. ) Oh, by the way …
