“squander” in exactly 11 words. Here is my creation.
Squander not your thoughts
on the predestined;
it is useless worry.

Wise words. And a great song by one of my favourite bands – I played this one as part of a Tuesday Tunes set a while back 😊

Yes, I recall. You also popped into mind when I chose this one knowing you’re a big fan of DS, as am I. It’s a brilliant piece, IMO, and works well with this little flash.
Thanks, Clive!

Yup!
(Did I tell you / bore you, that Mark Knopfler lived in the same street as me? Not at the same time – he moved to another part of Glasgow – before the family moved the Newcastle area, this is – when he was @ two years old. My family moved in, about 50 yards down the road a year later, when I was @ two years old.
What a tenuous claim to fame THAT is …;) 😀 )
