The envelope, please...

Thanks for playing!  I’m not surprised, but my sister Helga was able to identify all of the Sesame Street references rapidly!  Lynne wins, with a total of 35/59 correct answers, and I’ve already sent something to her in the post.  It should arrive during the week, so I wait for her reaction! (I expect her to call me a “cheeky brat” at the very least.)

I enjoy finding quotes like these, so I’m likely to continue finding inspiration from songs, or perhaps books or poetry.  We’ll see... in the next round! Although this is the summary of a few years’ blogging, so it might be a while.
