Better @Mi-Amigo 

Certainly more than 2 🙄

Asteroid I like this one.

Anyway very busy day today. 

The roads are being dug up absolutely everywhere around here

1/2 hr journey took over 1hr. That was going but got lost getting back😁

Never believe those "follow diversion signs" one had square one had arrow

one had round, much much worse than your Quizzes!

Not looking forward to going out really.

Bye for now TT

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @TallTrees for your post.

The answer to your wonder

Answers on way via PM @Mi-Amigo 

The answer about your Question travel more difficult than your Quiz is:

There is an answer to your Quiz there was no answer to the "diversion" sign 😂

Funnily (but wanted to cry really ) : upon leaving I turned into road leading from house to

the main road :

to be met by Huge, enormous, gigantic  road tarmac vehicles with a "road closed sign" so where 

how could I get out! Man waving hand from behind enormous vehicle!  I could not see

left or right.  They had followed me home FGS🙄

Got back as vehicles finishing up so managed to turn into home with some jigging as these

vehicles are huge.

Now all completed.  I didn't tell them where I was going tomorrow but my guess will be

"they" will be there like some aliens they just seem to appear.
