Theme of the Week Solution

Submitted by barefootedsurf… on Mon, 02/23/2026 - 20:00

Bit late this week! Anyway we are going to celebrate #NationalHomeBuyingWeek, which runs from tomorrow, the 24th of February, until the 28th of February, an event which is mainly for first-time buyers and mainly to extol the virtues of new build homes. However the date seems to vary widely depending on which site you look at, some citing it at the start of February and others shunting it into the start of April.

We started the week on Saturday the 21st of February, with this card of footballer Dion Dublin, who is also known to non-footballing fans as one of the faces of the popular property buying and renovating show "Homes Under the Hammer"

Our second clue, of Sunday the 22nd of February, of two men and bicycles, may have foxed a lot of you, but the clue was there, and it was the puncture, or FLAT. A flat is where a lot of people start, and some never leave, finding these small but perfectly formed residences an ideal size for one.

Thirdly, on Monday the 23rd of February we have someone described as "retired", which brings us to the sort of home that is the most perfectly designed of all, with every feature designed for ease and to suit a range of challenges that come as we slide into older age
