I play FLAGLE every day

Question: everyday or every day?  Or every-day, a brand-new spelling.  Not brand new nor brandnew?

I play more than twenty games every day.  The funny thing about flagle is how it exposes the way we know less about our nearest neighbouring countries than about a few distant ones.  Try Flagle. 


In international news, Pope Leo is visiting France, 
while the United Nations General Assembly is jamboreeing again, 
its 81st annual meeting is on.  As you know from last year, I like to watch.  Here is Niger, resplendent, articulate, deserving to be listened to in its original audio, as all the countries represented are.

Archived 📚

I was trying to find the name of a book from about twenty years ago, could not remember the author name(s) at all but had some sense that the title was in three parts with commas, and had some (incorrect) guesses at the title but knew a bit of what the book was about.  

Did not succeed in guessing the book title with AI-Search so I had to go into this old list of books read I used to keep on facebook, 

remember when you used to track your movies watched and books you had read and those you wished to read, and follow your favourite musical artistes on their fan pages?  Those are no longer fb features but by delving into the archive, for which I had to switch from handheld to laptop, and from "app" to web browser, I successfully found the book and saw how part of the difficulty came from me and memory mixing up this book (and book cover) with a different book on related subjects that I interacted with in the same period which, in turn, had made me try to guess using wrong keywords.

Why don't you say something, say something 🎶

When there's no internet, you start to see that you can get a lot done, like all those old (dusty) hobbies.

In other news, children's shampoo is the simple and beautiful answer to, just something to wash my hair.  The bathing soap section is even more mortifying; it's full of covert and overt bleaching agents.
