MM Links March 2012 Week 3
46 Answers
Life has been somewhat manic since our return from Gran Canaria. After a quick shop to fill the ‘fridge I dashed up to the golf club to resume my duties as Lady Captain. That afternoon was the final round of our annual bridge competition and I had to be around to present the trophy. On Thursday we were having our annual Ladies Dinner and the seating plan and final choices of food had to be sorted, together with the seating for the after dinner Military Whist. There is a new chef at the club and I had to meet him and check that all was in order. Fortunately he seemed to be on top of things, so no worries there.
On Wednesday I eventually got around to sorting the washing, only for the tumbler dryer – somewhat ancient- to die on me. Time was spent on the internet to find a replacement; choices made and I called one supplier to enquire when it could be delivered. Fantastic, the answer was the next day, with a 2 hour delivery slot. It couldn’t be better – apart from going to a local chain store and humping it myself.
By 10.30 the next morning I had my new tumbler dryer, so no more soggy clothes around the house. I know I could hang them outside but the weather at the moment is a bit unpredictable and I didn’t have time to dash in and out when rain threatened.

Thursday dawned and it was Ladies Dinner day, flowers to be picked and arranged for ‘top’ table, prizes to be taken up to the club and the tables sorted. Another problem, the tables weren’t set up for us, so the Secretary and I and some of the men were heaving heavy tables and chairs around, trying to work around men who had come off the course and wanted a quiet pint. Eventually all was done and I staggered home for a 45 minute rest before putting on my glad rags.
Suffice it to say the dinner went very well with many compliments for our new chef. The Military Whist was another matter – have you ever tried to organise 40 slightly inebriated ladies to go to the correct tables for each round? Well it caused quite a lot of laughter anyway!!

According to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that each of my pre-selected link words contains at least four letters and at most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts!
Each of the selected link words may go in front of, or behind my challenge word.
The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when gen2 will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
