Yes, sorry to TS - should really have left Blue Swede for him but sounds as if it didn’t make him too blue! Just chuffed there was still a point left to nab when I got here late yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent edition of Snapshots Rol, aa ever.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe as to how you make up these clues. It hurts my brain just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteThis "Waking up early on a Saturday" has definite benefits for the ego.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit to getting over-excited when I was posting the answers (sometimes at the second attempt) before anyone else got there.
Usually late to the party, but not this time.
Think I might finally be getting the hang of your cryptic-ness
I ought to look into The Passions back catalogue. I love that song by them
