KM Links Game - August week 5 results

[seekeerz]

Good morning everyone - I hope you're all enjoying the day off and are doing whatever you like best.
Before I get down to results etc, there's a bit of social chitchat to be done.

Firstly to tearinghair - congratulations on your win over on MM, you wore KM's crown last month, now on to greater things and you'll enjoy every minute of it - crofter will take you by the hand and lead you right up the garden path, in the nicest possible way - so have fun.

Congratulations also to ladyh & his lordship on their 22nd wedding anniversary and we welcome back chriss & stevie from their holidays - you, too, were missed and I'm glad you're back. And wish Happy Holidays to JimJools who are off to Turkey and also miss meg headed for the Canaries.
See, I told you I need a social sec. to keep track of everyone

Ok it's been a busy month - not the greatest on the point scoring side, but almost everyone was on the score board by the end of the month so well done, all
Lots of opportunities for points this weekend, but as usual Kate picked four unlikely ones out of her hat and we finished up with -

Danish Pastry
Olive Green
Youth Hostel
Ring Master

and centrino was the only one to score on the last match, while the other three each had moderate support.

centrino also heads the group of 7 entries who each collected 3 points for two correct matches, the others being Elspeth, bryher, lysander, Grenmus,
wickedtongue & Cleocima while a further 19 entrants each picked up a point.

Another quick aside here - a special mention for bryher who has recently joined our ranks and seems to be getting the hang of it all very quickly and also to Muzz who in spite of gloomy predictions, has made it to 2 points this month - well done both !!

Well done everyone, another fat zero for me.. I just didn''t seem to be able to get my brain working this month.
May be our cruise to the Baltic will help me for next month- though I shall probably miss next weekend's puzzles.
2 big event this month, our 44th anniverary on Friday and I 'celebrate' a notable birthday at the end. put it this way I had to change my driving licence!!
Have fun all and many thanks to all the hard workers.

Well done to all who scored, my attempt was hopeless as usual. Thanks for your good wishes Steff, see you in a couple of weeks!!

HI Steff
Not that it will even make a blip as far as scoring goes, but Mr. O and I will also be away next weekend. Taking a well deserved break away from lightning strikes, Insurance Companies and Lawyers.
PS. I did manage to get one this week.
