#OTR50 Day 238-239: Burning the Candle at Both Ends

OK, I missed another day…. but still better than a few weeks.

#OTR50 Day 129: Pinpoints

Delayed posting due to wonky internet with US devices in Ireland and all sorts of off-line writing into non-wordpress formats and then fiddling with posting to private tools.
