Hi Q!
would you think you can give a go again to this challenge? Or close it in some way?

Hi Clo --and all!

I do regret being absent so long... sometimes, you know, you just HAVE to pretend to be all grown up and responsible and (sadly) admit that TD is "just play". Pfffft!

Luckily you folks are good-natured and I see you've kept on playing --I'm delighted!

Dickens is a non-swearing way of saying "Devil". It's so mild that we often call our children that, when they're causing mischief, like "You little dickens!" So I chose it to represent life's annoyances, more than serious tragedies.

Hey -- tomorrow's Friday (again!) ...so maybe I'll figure out a way to pass a baton... ;>

well pointed Pollyesther... time management is surely a BIG issue!

I have to ask a thing Q - although you explained the challenge quite well, as I'm not motherlanguage English, what means Dickens? I only knew the Dickens who wrote Oliver Twist...
