26th September, 2019.
Yes: after a late night, Tuesday and Wednesday … ?
I’ve got an easy start, today … !
Easy?
Early!
You see … ?
My typing’s abysmal, this time of the morning … !
~≈€≈~
Oh …
Just as a quick point … ?
I’ve been doing a little reading up on things.
Mostly? The model of Playstation that the family’s looking at, for Jude.
I knew the thing could record games — the amount of stuff on Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, et al — told me that.
But I’ve found pages like these to be useful.
And … ?
Frankly means getting someone a USB drive could be a good idea …

And a song …
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* I’ll look forward to seeing it, Anne. (Hopefully, I’ll have a movie or to for you read about: but it all depends on how much time I get!)
† You know, I’m going to have to have a look at more of Moore’s filmography, Olga, I really should! It sounds interesting! Oh … I’ve finally found out where the Playstation can put game footage. Yep … I think someone’s going to be interested in hearing about USB sticks … (It’s not so much that the hours are long … more that they’re awkwardly played … )
‡ Isn’t it just, Debbi! (Oh, remind me to look up Michael Moore … !)
Sugar,Arnhem.Ukraine,Hong Kong, 1948
ReplyDeleteTomorrow will do quiz later as no internet after 12 midnight, virgin media cuts off and then its a case waiting for talk talk.
Q1) Sugar
ReplyDeleteQ2) Arnhem
Q3) Ukraine
Q4) Hong Kong
Q5) 1948
Your plan for the Play Station sounds good. Yes, some jobs have very awkward hours and seem to get in the way of everything. I went to a conference yesterday (well, a chat, really), where James Ellroy, the American writer (LA Confidential, the Black Dahlia...) was talking about his new book. He is very amusing and he knows it! (He calls himself the evil dog of American literature, doesn't have a computer or a mobile and writes by longhand...). I managed to speak to the local writer (Carlos Zanón) that was talking to him, for the radio. Now I should catch up on his books. Nice guy.
He's a character.
