I am sorry to miss the last WRQ, time escaped from me and before I knew it was Wednesday and I realised I'd missed it.😮

Thanks so much for the alphabet theme, I know I personally enjoy these questions and the range of categories they bring. I do also plan to go back to the older WRQ's just to check out the questions and answers others put, but it might take me another week or so because I've been quite busy recently.
