Hi elle
Japanese poem of 17 syllables. Homophone, then us reversed!

Hello, Elle!
It is blue, I did not want a white one.
It is an Acer make.
The Friday puzzle is usually a hard one.
So what is in an "incher" when it's at home?
I am not keen on the clue, though there may well be something I am not twigging.
The P-early King was a good one, I thought!
26, Elle, is a sort of poetry, from Japan, I think.
"Haiku".
Greeting heard is "hai", which sounds like "hi" (not a greeting I use, but never mind!)
The country over is UK becoming KU.
I think you are asking for less help now, which tells me you are improving all the time!
Miss La Bamba says it is too cold to go downtown to see the lights getting switched on!

Did you not read the hint I gave elle? This is the second time in the last day or two that I've given a hint to elle, (as I believe she welcomes), and you've come straight in with the answer in the next post!

Hi, Rusty!
Blue sounds good, for your new Chromebook!
I believe Acer is a very good make.
Thank you for the explanation for "haiku".
I had never heard either of the greeting "Hai", or of the Japanese poetry "Haiku", so I was unlikely to understand the clue!
We have Christmas Lights in our village High Street......but I do not know if there is an official "Switching on" time.......
There may well be, or they may just be like "Topsy" in "Uncle Tom's Cabin"........
Are there special celebrations to go with your switching on of lights?



Thank you, Chris!
I should never have got that!
(typo tho....should have read "uk", as I see from Rusty's answer to my post)

Not exactly a typo, elle - by "us" I meant "UK"!

Oops, sorry, Chris - I thought you meant America!

Chris, Elle addressed a post to me for assistance.
I gave her the assistance she asked for as best I could, which I have been doing for quite some time now, and it has worked out very well..
I do not sit by my computer all day waiting to pounce on incoming queries.
And I am not remotely interested in what you do, or don't do, or your posts, so you can get off your high horse.

Rusty - you might have read my post and seen that I had given a hint, though, thus possibly making your answer unnecessary (though, as elle has said, she probably did in fact need the answer!)

....or has this become an entirely private thread? If that's the case, I'll make no further contribution (though it does occur to me that Email might be a more appropriate medium for a private conversation than an open blog site).

Hello, Elle!
it was either an Acer or an Asus, and I went for the Acer.
The greeting is "hi", Elle, sounds like "hai".
I think our lights go on at 7 but there are lots of events taking place around the city centre.
And the pubs will be busy!
Apart from the cold it should be a good night!
I do not know "Topsy", Elle, I'm afraid!
Now for my tea!
