Thanks Kobber.....counting today, only 7 shopping days left until the big day. May today bring you all peace, rest and good tidings. Stay safe!
When was the last time you looked through a telescope, where were you, and what were you looking at? Hubby has one but it got knocked to the ground one day and it hasn't quite been the same since. I'm not sure when exactly I last looked through it. Maybe over a couple years ago.

I loved The Beatles so it's really hard for me to pick just one.

The postage stamps that I had out the other night. Now I can't seem to find them. Rggggh.
Good afternoon everybody from a dry, very cool, England.
Now then. The last time I looked down a telescope was in May last year. I was in Cyprus looking down at no mans land between the Turkish occupied side of Cyprus and the Greek side that I was on.
US states I have visited. I have been to New York City, Ohio, and Nevada.
My favourite Beatles track is 'Revolution' from the white album. I like the faster version released on the 'B' side of the single 'Hey Jude.'
When was the last time you looked through a telescope, where were you, and what were you looking at?
I don't think I have ever looked through a telescope.

When was the last time you looked through a telescope, where were you, and what were you looking at? Maybe fall of 2003? I believe we were looking at Mars, or maybe it was Saturn or Jupiter. One of the planets was close to the earth at that time. Hubby (this was just before we got married) had a telescope, so we got it out in the cold and looked at the night sky.
Extra Credit Question:
How many US States have you visited? Of those States you haven’t been to, which one do you most want to visit and why? Nearest I can figure is 17. After falling in love with the Canadian Maritimes, I'd like to see more of the north east.
Bonus Question:
What is or was your favourite Beatles song? Don't think I have a favorite. I like A Day in the Life, Across the Universe, Eleanor Rigby, and some of the early songs with harmonizing; All My Loving, Do You Want to Know a Secret. Oh yeah, and Maxwell's Silver Hammer.

Extra Credit Question:
How many US States have you visited? Of those States you haven’t been to, which one do you most want to visit and why? maybe twenty-five or thirty. I would love to visit Hawaii for obvious reasons .
Today’s Question: When was the last time you looked through a telescope, where were you, and what were you looking at? The last week of October. I was at a wildlife refuge about 20 miles from my home and went to watch the annual migration of thousands of sandhill cranes. There was a telescope in the observation tower.
Extra Credit Question: How many US States have you visited? Of those States you haven’t been to, which one do you most want to visit and why? Well, it's hard for me to count how many states I've been to. Some, I drove through en route to others, but didn't stop, so I don't know if those count! I've actually visited (stoped in) IN, IL, MI, WI, OH, PA, FL, LA, CA, WA, IA, MO, MN, TX, VT. Have driven through several others on the way to those named. I would truly love to see more states out west, such as CO, MT, WY, AZ, UT -- well, pretty much every state!
Bonus Question: What is or was your favourite Beatles song? Tough choice, Kobber! One of my faves is Across The Universe.
Just for fun:
Today’s word is ‘whinge’ (verb; to complain; whine). What do you expect to whinge about today? The fact that my work load at the office is so light that I have time to play on the Internet. I'd rather be way busy and feeling like I'm earning my paycheck.

Today’s word is ‘whinge’ (verb; to complain; whine). What do you expect to whinge about today? That I woke up with a slight headache and have to go out in the rain as I already made a commitment ... At least it is to fill out paperwork and get fingerprinted for a new part-time job. I just wish that I can get fingerprinted in the same location where HR is but I have to travel a bit ... At least they are paying for the prints so no whinge
