Mm And Km Links July 2013 Week [3]

[gen2]

Last weekend in the MM Links game you were treated to a second helping of re-hashed posts from 'King Ulysses III' (aka Ulysses100) but no more of that. The wanderer returned last weekend and belatedly made contact with shrubbery management. As a result, we have an all-new posting for you tomorrow morning in Q&P.
The introduction will be posted at 8:45am followed at 9:00 sharp by the four challenge words. You will have until 7pm Sunday to register your responses but the earlier you play, the greater the chance of claiming a bonus point.

Don't forget our sister game - The KM Links overseen by seekeerz. That is based on the Daily Telegraph GK Crosswords (set by Kate Mepham, hence 'KM'). Play anytime before midnight on Sunday for an equal chance of points.

One last thing, If you are in the shrubbery (or anywhere else for that matter) between tomorrow (20th July) and 11th August, please spare 15 minutes to look out for and count any butterflies that you see. Last year, the weather conspired against butterflies and numbers were well down. It was feared there would be a knock-on effect this year, particularly with that cols spring as well, but the current warm spell has certainly brought out the best of whatever were left. I even saw a meadow brown on the lawn in my town garden this morning!

Make sure you know your Holy Blue from your Deacon Blue and your Scotch Argus from your Evening Argus.

Until tomorrow then - Happy Linking

Evening all (or anyone). Just popped in to say I'll be posting late tomorrow as it's OH's birthday and I've promised him a trip to the Peak District. He wants to set off at 8 am, I wanted to wait until 9.02 (no prizes for guessing why) so we've compromised and will be going at 8 am.

Personally looking out for a Blue Blood with a Blue Joke.

In addition I think it would be unkind and ungracious to Skz, in charge of the KM links, if any reference was made to cowhide and wood and a patch of grass in St John's Wood.

Having missed the first week of the month (near Skz, #SeaofRed) and been in NW8 yesterday ... I understand Strix's concern!
