60 Answers
It’s Friday, so here we go again . .
It’s a middling start for me this week, with FOUR out of seven in the main quiz:

Middling again the kids’ quiz too. THREE out of five for me:

At least I’m consistent this week! A middling FIVE out of ten for me in the Timed Teaser:

So, will YOUR scores match the weather this week and be HOT, HOT, HOT? Or will they be more like some welcome rain, i.e. DAMP AND SOGGY? Please tell!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If location is the key factor, Roo, your scores should be similar to mine, as we're both in the same county! I hope that you're staying near the best bits of the Suffolk coast, i.e. around Southwold and Walberswick. (I'm tempted to head out that way over the weekend but I don't much fancy the traffic going into either of those places!)
Well done with those decent scores, Zebo, even if you did get a little help ;-)
[Actually I think it's lovely that your granddaughter got involved]
4-2-4 is a tried and tested formation, Sandy, which seems to have served you reasonably well ;-)
Well done on just sneaking ahead of me at the final hurdle, Kwillmott!
Ruddy 'eck, Piggy! Both a perfect kid and a near-perfect adult this week! Very well done!
I'll let you put those scores down to the heat, I think, Wolfie - even though a quick look at the BBC weather page for Perth suggests that I shouldn't ;-)
BRILLIANT, Haras2! Well done indeed on that perfect 7!
(Er, we'll gloss over the other two scores, shall we?)
;-)
My house is quite cool due to the fact that (height-wise) I've not cut the privet hedge outside my house in the 30+ years since I've lived here. (It's roughly as tall as the house). So not much sunshine gets inside, meaning that it doesn't turn into a greenhouse in the summer. (I was wearing a sweater all this morning). Chequers has worked out that it's cooler inside than out, so he mainly sleeps in my bedroom. Tablo and Moonbeam prefer to find somewhere in the shade outdoors though.
I hope that you and Shady aren't suffering too much in the heat.
[Given that the official interest rate for Premium Bonds is currently 1.40%, 2.27% sounds pretty good to me. There are savings accounts offering more though https:/ /www.mo neysavi ngexper t.com/s avings/ savings -accoun ts-best -intere st/ and no safe investment can currently come anywhere near keeping pace with inflation]

Well done on beating me on the first two quizzes, DTC, (and equalling me on the final one)!
Good evening, Sam. I'm surprisingly well, thank you. (I've been feeling a lot less tired this week than I have for many weeks). I hope that you're in fine fettle too. At least you matched me in the sprint event, anyway ;-)
Definitely 'steady', Campbellking ;-)
