About eight minutes. Hate that middle letter start. Can't get a line two for far too long when that happens.

Happy and sad at the same time. This is one of my favourite openers but I decided to use another one today (why??).

Anyway, 5 seconds.

I feel your pain. I mean, five seconds? Embarrassing! 😂

More disappointed than grumpy that I watched a YouTube video of Geddy and Alex performing at the Gordon Lightfoot tribute and couldn't be bothered watching all the way through. A sad moment really. I remember writing to and phoning anyone I could think of to try obtain a copy of Geddy singing Take Off. I was obsessed with anything they were involved in. Now, not so much. Anyway, thank you to Linda Lockett for sending me The Great White North LP. Still a treasured possession and her letter probably even more so.

Hmmm! Why did she pick that word today? Six minutes. Should have been quicker I suppose.

Trying to buy a gift for my sister online since yesterday. Only one website has the item. Their payment process supposedly takes me to 3D Secure Authentication but it's a blank page. Tried phoning today. Won't take a phone order as they're too busy. Try again later was the only advice given. Gave up half an hour ago. No High St stores, no human beings interested online. The future looking bright right enough.

About ten minutes. I'd kind of figured out the last four letters but my mind was pronouncing it incorrectly. Took the penny a while to drop.

This came up on my Facebook feed and made me smile. A US air traffic controller received a call from a pilot requesting clearance to 50,000 feet. The controller was slightly annoyed and asked him how he hoped to achieve such height. It was an SR-71 Blackbird pilot who replied."Actually sir, we were hoping to descend to that flight level".

I enjoy the tales folk tell on here. Probably not enough of them in my humble opinion. It would be safe for me to also describe my career path as patchy, and one which I definitely wouldn't follow given a second opportunity. Retirement was forced upon me but I wasn't disappointed about that as having discovered a couple of years before that one of my private pensions was reasonably decent, I was obsessed with the thought of getting out of the harness. I must put up a diary of how things unfolded during those 42 years or so. Might help anyone suffering from insomnia.

Ninety seconds. Surprised that this was correct. Even more surprised that none of us has got this in one so far.
