Yeah I got to 70 as well, pretty sure that's the lot.

I make it 50 in that case. I'll stop there, don't want to be looking into oblique cuts aaaargh.

I was chilly so I grabbed a hat.
I got distracted and sat with it in my hand for a while.
I put the hat where it belonged.
And then I was nice and toasty.
