Bbc Quiz : Week 7

[Buenchico]

Good evening, all!

 

It’s been a fun week here, with the Feline Threesome all enjoying their 10th birthday celebrations on Wednesday. (They were the best Valentine’s present ever!). In fact they’ve been celebrating, with loads of special food and treats, all week long!

 

So, to start with then, here are a few cat photos, as requested by Karamia:

Chequers:

A tight squeeze!

Wednesday wasn’t perfect though as, for the umpteenth year in a row, the Royal Mail van carrying the many sackfuls of Valentine’s card that I was expecting seemed to have broken down yet again 😕

 

Moving onto the quizzes then . . .

 

I could only manage a fairly lowly score of THREE out of seven on the main quiz this week:

The junior quiz didn’t bring me any great joy either. Just TWO out of five for me this week:

Your turn!

 

[Moorea7]

Good Evening😊  Firstly, you are so lucky to have those three 
sweethearts - who needs Valentine cards?

Scores 3/7 and 3/5.

[Lie-in King]

5/7 (couple of lucky guesses) & 4/5 (stupid droid)

[kwillmott]

3/7

2/5

[Buenchico]

You're in early this week, Lie-in King, but with no change to your usual high scoring, I see!  Well done!

 

Hi, Moorea7.  Well done on beating me this week - although it wasn't exactly difficult really, was it? 😊

Yes, I know that I'm incredibly lucky to have my three feline companions.  I just need to keep telling myself that when they keep waking me up throughout the night though 😏

[Buenchico]

Thanks for keeping me company this week, Kwillmott!

[Cloverjo]

Beautiful cats, Buenchico 

My quiz scores were same as yours

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Clover.  They're certainly beautiful - even though they can be a pain in the posterior at times!

Thanks for keeping me company on my lowly quiz scores too!

Chris, that happens to me every year!

Good evening. Three for the main quiz and four for the kids so not too bad.

It looks as though our Ebony may have moved back next door. She must have heard me arranging her annual jabs next week! I'm glad your furries had a great birthday, sorry about your Valentines cards, I'm sure they'll turn up eventually and you'll be snowed under by them all. 

[Sam1960]

Evening Chris.

 

3/7

 

2/5

 

Hope this finds you well  ; ))

[maggiebee]

3/7 and 2/5 for me. Hangs head

[Buenchico]

Yes, Barsel.  

The mail delivery service is really appalling, isn't it? 😄

 

Hiya, Sam!

Thanks for keeping me company on my lowly scores this week!

(I'm still struggling on.  I hope that you're well too!)

 

Good evening, Roo!

Well done with decent scores this week!

I've got  feeling that, by the time I'm finally snowed under with Valentine's cards, they'll have all strangely morphed into bills!

My cats have always been one-human-only cats.  So I've not had to worry too much about them deciding to move home.  (Their mother was very different though.  When she arrived with me, she'd clearly been well looked after by someone before me.  Then, once her kittens had grown up, she disappeared to go and find another human).

I hope that Ebony will still honour you with her company from time to time though.

[Buenchico]

Hi, Maggie!

That's me, you, Kwillmott and Clover, all with identical scores this week!

[haras2]

3/7 v 3/7

2/5 v 3/5

Gorgeous pictures !

Shady has taken to helping himself to the dogs' food and giving a swipe across the chops to anyone who objects.

I wouldn't mind,but the stuff I get for him costs plenty.

Hope your bank account has recovered from the birthday

shenannigans (?) :-)

[Buenchico]

Well done on sneaking ahead of me in the scoring this week, Haras2!

The cat food didn't work out too dear, thankfully.  I bought them every flavour in this range
https://groceries.morrisons.com/products/gourmet-mon-petit-intense-cat-food-pouches-meat-267979011

. . . together with cooking some chicken breast fillets for them, giving them some 'soup' cat food pouches, loads of Dreamies, etc, etc.  They all seemed happy enough, except for Chequers, who kept waking me at periodic intervals during the night to demand some more!

Shady clearly knows that there's not 'your food', 'the dog's food', etc.  As far as he's concerned, it's all his food and nothing else!

I'm glad you liked the pictures. It's been hard trying to get some decent snaps of them when they're both awake and in decent light at the same time!

I hope that you and Super Shady will both have a lovely week!

Hi there Buen - gorgeous kitties!  I'm so fed up that cats now set off my asthma. I only discovered this when our darling Minette died and suddenly I stopped wheezing!  I'd love another.

Quiz.  Ok onthe adults I think 4/7, but the kids got me 2/5.  Keep trying.  ☺

[Buenchico]

Better than me, anyway, Jourdain2!

It's sad that you can't have cats in your life.

I hope the medics are getting on top of your hip problem, so that you'll be dancing the Can-can again really soon!

 

[Patsy33]

Good evening Buen x

Your cats are lovely! 😃

[Buenchico]

Yes, Patsy. They're definitely lovely.  Troublesome, demanding, annoying and a complete pain in the posterior at times - but lovely all the same 😊  🐱

Well done on just sneaking ahead of me in the scoring this week!

[haras2]

Our nearest Morrisons is 20 miles away unfortunately but next time I'm in Haverford West I will certainly check it out.

Shady prefers fish flavours...
