Another clever one. I think everyone's entered this contest. I tried to write something but nothing good came of it. Well penned my friend.

Thanks David. Oh, the time I’ve spent trying to write and simply deleting nonsense. Lose no sleep, suddenly your brain will ping and you’ll write six masterpieces straight off. Been there, done that. Terry

Thanks Tom, my first ever pledapopawotsit. Began by asking google for words beginning with V... words like vacuous got my mind buzzing but then I remembered the Vectis thing and that set the direction. The photo is the view from our front window, the rear knocks it into a cocked hat but I had no images on my ipad. Terry

Thanks Daniel. I’ve avoided the previous four platypusadoides contests, but thought I’d have a go. Terry
