ReplyDelete#14. Who is Jack Sparrow? #11 ""This whole world’s Wild At Heart and weird on top." I have no idea where that comes from.
ReplyDeleteGeorge has been in Portugal for too long!
Delete#14. Captain Jack Sparrow is a popular character in a series of moving picture shows, played by Johnny Depp (boo).
Delete#11. You need to watch more David Lynch movies.
Not every clue is for every reader, but they're all for me!
Snapshots is part of my weekly routine and I enjoy it so much. That said, it's obvious it must take a lot of work (with 15 photos nowadays) and I would hate for you to feel under pressure producing it for us week in week out.
ReplyDeletePlease just let us know when you need some time off from it or if you want to reduce the frequency - better that than it stopping completely. We would all get a long lie on a Saturday - that's not happened since you started it all!
Thank you, Alyson. If I need a week off, I'll definitely take one.
Delete" We would all get a long lie on a Saturday" speak for yourself, Alyson. Freckles the chicken starts crowing at 6am! The goats don't let themselves out, neither do the cats! Long lie in? Not since I was a teacher
DeleteWhat about Walter Pigeon?
DeleteIf the goats are capable of commenting on blog posts they are capable of letting themselves out.
