MM and KM Links February 2009 [Week 3]

[crofter]

Welcome to the third week of our accomplished setter, Queen Dustybun. For me personally, by far the most important event that has occurred this week is that I have become a Granddad for the first time. Harry Daniel was born on Tuesday morning at 7.30am weighing 7lb 11oz. He is absolutely perfect and Mother (Laura) and child are doing extremely well. MY son, Daniel, is a very proud father. Seeing us all together gives one a sense of historical continuity!

On the minor matter of MM Links, everything is going according to plan and Queen Dustybun is proving soooo easy to work with! This week, I predict a good harvest of points as entrants begin to tune into the brainwaves of the setter!

As usual, the launch of the MM Links Game should begin with the posting opening at 8.45am and the four words to be linked should be declared at 9.00am. Whereas Dustybun will set the links for the MM Game, the international version of this same game (called KM Links) kicks off at an earlier time (usually about 7.00am) and is out of control of mere mortals.

Look out for our regular organiser from Oz, seekeerz, who is melting in the middle of an Australian Summer. She will be assessing results for KM Links (an international version of MM Links). I always say, why not chance your arm at both Link Games? They remain open for most of the weekend and all entries are scored and entered on to master scoreboards.

With luck we shall all meet up tomorrow to continue our February Linking!

I have my eye on one or two of you that are shaping up well as the next MM Links Champion, but anything can still happen in the next two weeks!

PS Dragonfly Quiz IV will soon be going through its final checks!

Oh Jan....you know me so well.

Had quite a busy week...and a nice long walk with Reg and the dog today...so that helped clear the head a bit!!
So time to fuzz it up a bit again now!!! :-))

I have had one bottle of wine to "wet the baby's head" every day of Harry's life. A baby's head has never been so wet ~ nor my head so fuzzy!

Welcome aboard, Pauline!
