Mm Links December 2013 Week 2
37 Answers
Good Morning fellow linkers. Lady Eleanor here. Welcome to the second round of my challenge.
I’m sorry that the scoring was so low last week but hopefully this week will be better. Thanks to everyone who entered and who welcomed me aboard and to Strix for posting my theme tune, Lady Eleanor by Lindisfarne. It brought me right back to 1971! (I wish!)
Since I took early retirement from teaching a few years ago I’ve had more time to indulge in new hobbies. My absolute favourite at the moment is hill-walking. Hubby and I now belong to two walking clubs so we have a good variety of walks. In addition to weekly outings we regularly go on walking holidays. We’ve been to The Lake District, Snowdonia, the Scottish Highlands and Chamonix near Mont Blanc. This is a beautiful region with stunning views of snow-capped mountains and green valleys. The exercise keeps us fit and healthy (hopefully!) and it’s a great way of meeting new people.
I’d like to thank Gen2 for posting this for me, as when you read it, I will be en route to another walk. Until next week, happy linking.

Sorry about the delay.
Domestic crisis delayed our evening meal. Big Bang. 30A fuse blown. Electric oven deceased (only the grill still works).
First player, tearinghair, set the virtual wheels in motion with EXERCISE BIKE while roslyn251254, beejay1124 & middlestump pedalled fast enough to claim a bonus as well (2 points each). This healthy choice proved to be a nice little earner for 14 later player to claim single points.
By 9:03, grannydi had remembered an appointment at the HEALTH CENTRE for her 2 points. (Brenden and Evsajo had later appointments for single points)
It was over 15 minutes into the game before jobjockey paused to take in the scenery. SCENIC VIEW earned him his 2 points. Seekeerz was the only other player with a scenic eye, but unfortunately too late for the bonus.
The final link held out until late afternoon when Mrs O fancied becoming a MOUNTAIN CLIMBER - the only taker for that option.
I almost gave Onty the Hotshot honours, but with two double hitters (jobjockey & seekeerz), I had to go for the highest scorer of the game:
***** HOTSHOT FOR *****
***** THIS WEEK IS *****
**** J O B J O C K E Y ****
*** CONGRATULATIONS ***
In summary, this week's scorers were:
3 jobjockey
2 beejay1124
2 grannydi
2 middlestump
2 Onty (Mrs O)
2 roslyn251254
2 seekeerz
2 tearinghair
1 Aquagility
1 baza
1 boxtops
1 Brenden
1 Christiana
1 cliffyg
1 evsajo
1 Handbaglady
1 kawakiri
1 Magyar
1 owllady
1 pixie373
1 SHAZZA-Hewat
1 teacher1
Well done to all the point scorers.
Wwhen added to last week's scores, that leaves the top of the leaderbord looking like this:
4 grannydi
4 roslyn251254
3 Aquagility
3 evsajo
3 jobjockey
3 owllady
2 beejay1124
2 Handbaglady
2 middlestump
2 Onty (Mrs O)
2 pixie373
2 seekeerz
2 tearinghair
11 on 1 point
Two weeks to go and with so little separating all the scorers, it still could be anyone's game.
So, until next week then (if I haven't starved to death in the meantime) . . .
Be there:-
Same time (9am)
Same place (Q&P)
