Here’s a word that seems more melodic than descriptive to me this morning. Trivia question: anyone get the picture connection to the word ‘sanguine’? Here’s a clue, it’s from a movie.






The Baguette buffet pictures really make me hungry right now. I’m not sure what that’s about; maybe it’s ‘cuz I only had some crackers for lunch.
Clue #1 – "Remember, remember the fifth of November," for on this day, in 2020, the minds of the masses shall be set free.
Morning Jim…I can’t see the picture, but as you mentioned a movie, V for Vendetta springs to mind..
You are correct Maria. That is one of the pictures that popped up when I Bing pictures for the word ‘sanguine’. It’s that strange?
LOL…I can see the picture now….I think that would have helped clarify my answer had I seen it earlier, though it was your clue that gave it away ;o) and yes you’re right..it is strange how random things get associated online.
I was too late to answer the movie question… but I watched the DVD recently. have a great weekend.hugsx
Ah. I’ve never seen V for Vendetta. I read two reviews and decided against it. Easily swayed.
