Love this!! It's like proofreading...🤣

Absolutely. I can't say how many times I've proofread an essay right after writing it and then been horrified when I read it back a week later 😂

Hello Ali, I enjoyed this exercise in 'mind flexing', it sounds much like the Chinese whispers games of my childhood too. I hope you are enjoying your holiday time in Tasmania on the west coast. Strahan is gorgeous. I can relate to the desire to write, the words hanging in your mind, but not having the time to open a computer to get them down. Phones are such a great way to record things, though not ideal.

Thank you, Kate. We're having a lovely time with family, and Tasmania never disappoints :) It's such a beautiful place.

You write about fascinating topics. And you use hilarious examples!! What a pleasure this was. Including the etymology of ‘book’! I am most definitely a “green needle” hearer😊

Thanks Alan. I love books even more now after discovering the etymology 🙂 I can hear both Green Needle and Brainstorm depending which word I focus on.
