Went to bed, but couldn’t sleep.
“Concern? No. Peeve? No”.
Climbed out, paced around, sat down, stood up, climbed back in.

Love your graphics.
I’m really pleased! Thanks, Sadje
You’re welcome
I start my morning with the New York Times crossword. And I always have some simple word that escapes me. Like the story.
Me too, it’s a daily ritual! Sometimes words that I have trouble with suddenly appear out of nowhere at the oddest times!
Like trying to remember the name of that high school teacher that always used to… 🙂
Too right Christine!
Fun take Keith
Thanks Di!

Loved your take, everytime and the picture you post alongside.
Thank you so much Ramya.
Ha ha! Yep! It is like the person who CALLED ME to tell me that they can’t find their phone … 😀
Hehe! That’s hilarious!
Yep, those words we lose tickle and niggle forever.
They certainly do!
Haha! Fun one, Keith…
Thanks Dale!
Dear Keith,
I’m searching for the right word for your brilliant piece and graphic. Hmmm…
Shalom,

I get your lovely comment perfectly even without the missing word and I can’t thank you enough.
Hi Keith – niggling niggles tend to niggle on – til someone gives us the answer! All the best in this gloomy time … cheers – Hilary
Don’t they just! Chin up – there’s a new year around the corner!
Gotta get a couple of across clues, or it’ll keep bugging you all night!
14 across. A hint or suggestion, 4 letters beginning with C. I’m clueless!
Scots word for Keith. Begins with ‘n’ and rhymes with Humpty!
How very dare you?
Eight letters for wonderful, well-told story: creative.
Thanks so much, Bill.
