In addition to the joy of ending the word search, the other joy of threads is the places it takes your mind. Today, a trip down the memory track and the humble, but often frustratingly unsuccessful trouble with technology.
The theme “… not included” immediately made me think of Christmas Day’s frustrations about being gifted toys that were made redundant for the day because they demanded some AA batteries.
Batteries that are required are the longest excited thing I can remember to have seen and it took a huge part of the puzzle. I tapped “batteries” twice before I added “demanded”.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
