Mm Links January 2014 Week 3
37 Answers
This is 'The Lady Radley' back once more.
Time rolls on, here we are at week three already. It’s a very dismal morning, thick fog and rain. Got the log burning stove on again. Luckily I remembered to put matches on my order.
Last week I really thought 'North Wind' would be a popular guess as I was thinking about the poor robin in the nursery rhyme “The north wind doth blow and we shall have snow and what will the robin do then, poor thing, he’ll keep himself warm and hide his head under his wing, poor thing”.
Recently my friend and I start putting Saturdays lottery on. When it went to £2 we decided to have just one line and put the rest on Thunderball. We take the same numbers on two lines but the other I change each week. One week, on our Thunderball usual numbers, I typed the same wrong number three times. Another decision, did I leave the wrong number or try again with the correct one? I decided to leave the ‘wrong’ number and we won a tenner! I said to my friend we need a lucky purse to keep our winnings in. She said no, we need a lucky tin. One of my favourite tipples is Baileys on the rocks. I have two round Baileys tins, which held a miniature bottle and three Lindt chocolate balls, long since consumed, but as I like them they are on top of the cupboard above my oven. We now have just over eighty quid so it sure is a lucky tin.
It’s going to be a very sporty year again with the World Cup, Brazil to win and England to get knocked out fairly early as usual. I’m not much of a football fan although I did go to a Newcastle match to see them play in the fairs cup, 1969 I think, and I can remember chanting “We don’t need Usebio. We got Jimmy Smith”. No seats just terraces to stand on in the freezing cold, fur coat and boots. I remember the atmosphere was electric.
Next month we’ll have the Winter Olympics. I’m interested in skating, slalom and bob sleigh. Don’t know how many of you will have watched the film but the 1993 'Cool Runnings' starring John Candy is worth a viewing.
I really must get into the kitchen today to bake. My son John loves chocolate or coffee cake to take to work in his bait, known as pack up in Yorkshire. I’ve got oven on heating up ready. Big decisions, do I make chocolate or coffee cake? Or perhaps I should make scones as well, sweet or savoury?
Once baking is in the oven I must pick up the needles and try to finish the dress I am knitting for Jasmine. Living at Tow Law she needs winter woollies to keep warm. I am sure Tow Law has the highest football pitch in the county if not the country.
Decisions all round this week. Couldn’t decide what to write about, so it’s a very mixed bag this week. Now even more decisions to make what will my four words be, then what should I choose for the links?

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 to make a new longer word or to make a well-known phrase or saying. The combination will never be a person's name.
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.
