Good evening, all.

I hope that you’ve all had a good week and that you won’t get swept away by Storm Betty this weekend. (Am I the only one here who can never hear the name ‘Betty’ without thinking of Frank Spencer declaring “Ooh, Betty!”?)

I achieved my usual ‘middling’ score, of FOUR out of seven, in the main quiz this week:

However I scored a very rare (for me) maximum FIVE out of five in the junior quiz:

I could only manage a ‘passable’ FOUR out of ten in the speed event though:

So, if my addition is correct (which can never be guaranteed), that’s an aggregate score of 13 for me this week. You can do better than that though, can’t you?

Good Evening, Chris!
Well done on being a perfect kid this week!
My scores seem to be a mixed bag
4/7, 4/5, 4/10
Heading to Lincoln tomorrow with family for the vintage rally and looks like it will be a scorcher. Will be packing a picnic with plenty of flasks of tea to keep us going.
I hope you and kitties are looking forward to a wonderful week ahead :-)

Chris, just wanted to let you know that I also can't see the name Betty without going into Frank Spencer mode.

Hi, Susan!

You're not as childlike as me this week but you're a bit better in a print race ;-)

Well done on getting some decent scores!

Good evening, Karamia!

Full marks this week, I see! (For consistency, that is!)

Everyone seems to be going to Lincoln all of a sudden! (My grandson will be studying Maths and Physics at Lincoln Uni when the new term starts). The rally looks like fun!

(We have the big Woolpit Steam Rally here in Suffolk each year. It's just a short drive from where I live and always a good day out).

I hope that you enjoy the day tomorrow and that it will be just the start of a lovely week for you.

Thanks, Barsel!

Now how about plucking up the courage to have a go at the quizzes?

Your grandson? Where did he appear from?

My use of the term 'grandson', Wolfie, was a shortcut to writing "the son of the guy who I think of as my son", which would then have probably required further information anyway! Logan (who's off to Lincoln soon) isn't my biological grandson but I think of him as such.

Chris, I do the quiz every week, but I don't want to let everyone know how thick I am.
or
I could say I get them all right but don't want people to feel inferior.
and
If you believe the latter, you'll believe anything. :-)

I'd never disbelieve you, Barsel ;-)

Hiya, Sam!

Well done on getting some reasonably decent scores this week.

I'm remarkably well for an old 'un, thank you, as I hope that you are at your youthful 21 years of age ;-)

Thanks for your post, Barsel ;-)

Blast! Just as I was starting to feel happy about being out in the lead, Roo comes along and deflates my balloon :(

[Well done on that terrific aggregate, Roo!]
