Drat!
I had this all typed up at 3pm because we were going out and then we left without me posting it - Sorry.
Good evening Linkers. ((I am a little earlier than usual because we are going out for a meal.))
Two down and three to go for March so still lots of scope for anyone to surge into the lead - even a new player.
In the MM Game, Christiana is still just ahead, even with the handicap of touring the Antipodes and having to rely on hotspots and dongles to get her entry in. This game will start at 8:45 tomorrow morning in Q & P with an introduction before the words are revealed at 9:00. Early players are more likely to qualify for bonus points. Anyone can play so why not have a go? The setter is GrannyDi or 'Princess Diana' as Crofter called her. She is back from her holidays in Gran Canaria to face the unpleasant prospect of playing a round of golf with British weather as the main handicap.
The KM version of the game, based on the Telegraph GK crosswords has no such bonus system so play that at any time over the weekend. It is launched by Seekeerz early Saturday morning - also in Q & P. The current leader is Tearinghair but the chasing pack aren't far behind.
The shrubbery is now open for discussion, scheming and celebration.
