Another two from the friend mentioned above;

"He's a big man, but a wee suit fits him".

And about alcohol (which he enjoyed immensely).

"One drink's fine. Two's too many and three's not enough".

I was thinking the other day of phrases which family, friends and colleagues have used in the past and have stuck with me. I'm sure there are more, but these come to mind;

From my maternal grandfather.
"Treat people the way you wish to be treated yourself".

From a close family friend about ambition.
"A wee fire gives you a heat, a big fire burns you".

And the old well-known cliche from a former colleague.
"The more that folk tell me I'm right, the more I think I must be wrong".

Chuck in "Trust no one" and you should just about get by.

This is a very laborious method and I couldn't be bothered with it for the day-to-day challenges, but it's worked well for me this week so far. I know you guys love my Easter themed words, so I started off with a very appropriate Holy Saturday symbol, which was very kind to me. I thought a line two might be on, but the more I thought, the more the list of options grew and grew. Fortunately line two eliminated all but two of them (and a couple of unlikelies) so it fell into place nicely.

Oh well, still quite a while to wait but I'm looking forward to it. Odd title choice. Might be the kind of thing that gets him on The Graham Norton Show on his promotional stint. 😁

Eyes sore today. Seriously folks, if you, anyone in your families or circles of friends ever develop any thyroid issue, please encourage them to get in front of a trusted optometrist at every opportunity to check for this miserable condition. It can be picked up and treated successfully at an early stage. Mine was missed by hospital specialists on a couple of occasions, so the treatment started late and then stopped due to the pandemic. TED is misdiagnosed (or even missed) only too often.

Doing the recycling quite early this morning and the sun was noticeably warm on my back.

Quicker today. About fifteen minutes. Used the most significant Good Friday word for line two which was a real help. Could only conjure up two options thereafter and one had already been a previous solution, so very satisfying.

Happy today. Took me a great while to think of what to put for the 3rd attempt.

You ignored my good, honest advice then? 😂

Quite relieved as I had a couple of options left.

Nah! Relax, enjoy Easter. Plenty of beer and late nights. You can step up next week.😉😁

Unfortunately a sundial and a crayon would work for me at the moment.

First letter again on line one. The careful method again today. Twenty five minutes so much more laborious for an impatient type like me, but it's working so far.

The Color Of Right

A patchy version of the intro appeared in my mind this morning. I couldn't quite piece it together at first not even realising it was Rush until the missing notes fell into place.

This could have been a line two today. Very pleased with my Easter starter word so played much more tactically than my usual fire and forget method. After checking the previous solution list (which I wouldn't normally, but I had that first letter) I got it down to two possibles that I could think of. Picked the wrong one but still quite pleased.

The Rutles

A masterclass from Neil Innes in nicking all the hooks and familiar tunes from the Beatles and turning them into a wonderful new bunch of songs
The film itself is just great and funny and so spot on

I have the album somewhere. Very cleverly done.
