Easy Sudoku for 17/January/2024

2:19 Seemed to take forever. Good morning all who arrive soon.

Arachnid, that was a bad finish for the Scorchers.

Good Maen

wanted to sleep in but body said - get up and get going - so I lay in bed and do my daily puzzles before I actually get up to face the day -
I made it though a cold cold day - got my errands done, but got an alert on my car - think my tire pressure is low -- my car does not like temp changes

Peter has rambled, and i don’t mean walking, as the last post of yesterday and the day before. In addition he has taken to abusing his betters which is probably the result of sustained compression. So, people, be nice to the aging submariner and remember we all may get to his advanced age at sometime in our lives

AND before he mentions it the Scorchers lost tonight on the very last ball of the game.

Anne, sorry I have just read your comment. In a tight game to bowl a no-ball in the last over is unforgivable especially as it was the Captain bowling. I was hanging on to my seat till the very end. Did you see me on TV? My granddaughter also won a hat for waving/dancing.
That is enough from me. I’m off (or “off” as the posh people say) to bed now.

2:02. Not a caterpillar? Neat photo. Good Evening Anne and Arachnid and Good Morning Mary and to all who are headed this way.

Mary & everyone! Goodnight, Anne!
Schools are closed today due to low temps. (I know this ages me, but they'd never close school because it was cold when I was young. I wonder if it's because of fear of lawsuits? Nobody sued back then.)
Have a good one!

(Saved for Shosho!)

Hello to Arachnid & tom, too!

Anne Mary, Arachnid, Tom, Shiela & Everyone Yet to Arrive!!
Hoping Anne is having sweet dreams

everyone!!
Shiela! Here's flying your way!

It's fine to eat a test grape in the produce section, but you take one bite of rotisserie chicken and it's all, 'Sir, you need to leave!'

Hi all!
I’m with you, Tom - looks like a caterpillar to me. But whatever it is, it’s a really lovely photo.

I wouldn't call it a worm, either
We just finished clearing snow off the driveway and cars. The plow was by early this morning, so at least we only had to clear the end of the driveway once. Off to pop some ibuprofen!

Morning everyone,looks like a caterpillar to me and will turn into a butterfly.
Hopefully the predicted rain will hold off until this afternoon so I car take Summer to the playground this morning.

1:28. Good morning everyone.

1.52

Who knows? Maybe it'll be a pretty butterfly some day!

Auto spell check Off should be Orf

Mornin' all. Keep smilin'.

Why don't you just turn your spellcheck off and rely on your own abilities? Now there's an oxymoron for you!

Definitely a caterpillar. Google images search comes up with various possibilities. Most likely - I think - is the Azalea Caterpillar whose behaviour seems rather worm-like: https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/azalea-caterpillar

It snowed just enough to be pretty, not enough to be a nuisance.

Of course, it's an unspoken truth, DoA - but considering as you presented it - it was quite humorous!

I also do not recall having schools closed if it was too cold, Shiela; but when I taught here in Rochester, we had several school day classes canceled because of inclement weather or bitter cold days! The difference might be that the schools then were considered 'neighborhood schools' & the students walked to school. Now most students are not walking to school; they may be getting a bus to the opposite side of the city!

I forgot the timer but it seemed like a good time for me...
Hello everyone
