21st March, 2021.

Did I ever mention I usually have my curtains shut, when I’m writing these posts?

I usually have my curtains shut, when I’m writing these posts.

You miss a lot that’s going on … but at least I don’t get people looking through my window, first thing in the morning!

It turns out that the yelling I heard, when I was finalising and posting yesterday’s Teaser?

Was two men getting arrested for carrying offensive weapons.

The things you miss …

It’s officially Census Day.

This year?

It’s mostly being done online.

I’ve done mine already: the rules allow you too, so long as you double check, today, to edit and finalise your entry.

I do have one question, though … 

What on Earth do you do: if you have no computer, or smart phone connection to the internet?

What do you do?

It’s not like the library’s open on Sundays …

*        It always amazes me what YouTube throws up, Trevor.   But that will grab Debbi’s attention.

I know what you mean, about the Wikipedia entries.   Saying that?   I’m glad I found the Simple English Wikipedia!   Either way, Time Machine is really simple to use: as was the transfer …

What ever happens, I hope the drain repair does something: although I’ll bet it’ll only last ten minutes!

‡        Hello, Mum!
