Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. you might need your magnifying glass or a high powered microscope to read the franking over the stamp: above the stamp it reads "secure your dog" and across the stamp "for safe delivery" - this was on a Christmas card that arrived through the mail from my brother. Excellent advice I think. an "Aussie style" Christmas window display seen in the city by "no-one" David Jones Store has its traditional Chri...
Say things like, "Mm hmm" and "uh-huh" and "yep" for a minute on your end of a "conversation."
ReplyDeleteOk, that's my guess.
That, or this is a smarty-pants riddle and you would say we are not using letters when we speak, but that letters only somewhat approximately represent speech sounds. :)
It's a conundrum for sure.

lol, absolutely no idea lol.
ReplyDeleteI'll not give it away but perhaps you got this from reading A Wanted Man which I read recently. Jack Reacher showed how it could be done at the end of the book. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; giving up so soon?
ReplyDeleteYou're as bad as me.
Kath Lockett; no Welsh involved.
The Wicked Writer; I'll tell you then. In a minute.
Mimsie; I knew you'd know.

I've no idea, but you have some clever responses here! :-)

Pearl; the answer is the last sentence in the comment above you.
ReplyDeleteGroan. Clever, and now I feel inadequate. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCounting is not speaking though.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I did too, all the way through the book as I tried to figure out how that was possible.
ReplyDeletemm; true, but it is a minute of words without the letter A.
Welcome to drifting.
Re mm's comment. Of course counting is speaking unless you are doning it silently on your fingers perhaps. lol
ReplyDeleteMimsie; you're right. I suspect mm was referring to proper conversation.
ReplyDeleteAh ha... clever... I had to read the comments to figure it out.
