I've just notice a typo in my previous post that results in the opposite of what I meant. Maybe it was a Freudian slip? No, I won't go there. That could lead me down all sorts of wormholes.
What I wrote: I can't safely say there is no chance of me suddenly deciding to be known as Devonald, my middle name.
What I meant: I can safely say there is no chance of me suddenly deciding to be known as Devonald, my middle name.
(Devonald was part of my father's name.)

Another beautiful but very cold day here again. Football pitches frozen so games cancelled. A win for grandparents who don't stand like standing in the cold but disappointing for GrandSon1 who hasn't had a match since before Christmas.
I appreciate that what I describe as very cold is just a bit chilly for many of you but we don't get very low temperatures here. Thankfully.

Have you heard about what3words.com?
According to what3words.com I am currently in the location of blue.coat.trees. (I've changed it to avoid publicising my address - I don't want to be mobbed when I become a best-selling author.)
Someone, and I picture a group of bespectacled slightly scruffy young men working late into the night, has given every three metre square in the world its own unique identifying three words.
Once upon a time I slept in a bedroom at whistling.grins.hormones, which could explain a lot.
Have a go. It's quite addictive. Not least because it's an obvious source choice for found poetry.

Interesting that I read that typo as you'd intended to say it. I think most readers are much less attentive than writers. In my case, that's often a good thing.
Thanks for the website heads up. It will probably show up at my place with a link back to yours. :-)
I never even noticed the typo.
Sounds like an interesting website. I'm off to see what my 3 words are.
Often wondered about my 3 words. Does it work on cellphones only? How do you get your 3 words on a PC at home? Can you then phone the emergency services and give them your 3 words instead of your address?
God bless.
Hey there Liz - All is well here, thanks for checking. I haven't had much interesting or exciting going on over the past several months and that, along with a very annoying vision problem, has kept me off the computer and a little quiet. I have kept up a bit with the blogs I enjoy, including yours, so at my end I haven't completely lost touch. I do plan to try to get back in the swing of blogging. I tried a simple email response to your inquiry however it bounced back so I thought I just say 'Hi' here. BTW, I'd have said it the same (first version) way - made perfect sense to me!
