Aka Tuesday 22nd January 2019
Back to my morning exercise walk (I walked a total of 9.67km
(or 6.01miles) in 1hour 54minutes and 47seconds, which took 12,593 steps and burnt
1,000 calories) and the rising sun gave the sky a wonderful hazing red glow…
…and I finally watched ‘Escape Room’. I tried to watch it
the other week but got bored after ten minutes, but decided to give it a second chance and it’s okay but is basically
a sub-par ‘Saw’ movie, with no real surprises in the traps/deaths and the
characters are barely developed, so you don’t really care about them. 4/10.
…and I did the G2 Crossword:
…which goes pretty much downhill as I had to cheat on two
fifths of the clues (ten out of 25). The answers just wouldn’t come to me, like
I got as far as ‘teleprompter’ but couldn’t get over the hump to the answer of
‘autocue’, maybe it was because I was in a black mood and it kept the little
grey cells from working? Although I’d argue that ‘group of words forming part
of a sentence’ is not the best clue for ‘phrase’. But I did learn that
‘mellifluous’ means ‘sweet-sounding’, that ‘Isere’ is a ‘river and department
of South-East France’, ‘parvenu’ is another word for ‘nouveau riche’ and that
‘repeated prayers’ are ‘Litany’.
