Yay!

It’s Tuesday!

You may want to keep an eye on mine, too, as I’ve to a review due: you’ll see that go past, later!

Jack Kerouac, (March 12, 1922 – October 21, 1969.)

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

*        Hello, Mum!

†        You’re not wrong about nights, Olga!   And my weigh was up, this week: but not by much.   Lord knows what I’m doing wrong!

        That’s a good idea, I think: especially if Stranger Things is doing well, there: Dungeons and Dragons is doing very well from it.

‡        I’ve got something different, today, Debbi: a piece from the Wonder Woman soundtrack called ‘Wonder Woman’s Wrath’!   That ‘dum-dum-dum-da-dum-dum da-da da-DAAH’ riff gets used as a leit-motif for the character, though out the films.

§        Cheers for that, Trevor!
