New -threads today (game #473) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #473, are …
- LANDSCAPE
- Game
- Playlist
- Motel
- Photos
- Audio Book
- Spanggram: Road Trip
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
Rather, the theme wire gave it away, so it wasn’t a very hard thread to implement, but it made me think about planning my own next road trip.
I love a nice road trip, even if those you make in the UK are not really on par with those in the US, considering that you could drive far north to the southern south in one day, albeit a long one. Of course, in the states you could run for a week and not get all over the country (unless you didn’t stop to sleep).
So much more reason you may need a good playlist, lots of audiobooks, some games for the kids in the back and lots of breaks to take pictures of the landscape.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
