Goodness, another month is flying by - only one more weekend after this before a winner is crowned and quite a cluster there is at the top of the leader board.
As always, we're attempting [ !! ] to match Kate Mepham's choices for this weekend and the whole thing will be underway shortly when one of the reliably early risers posts the link words along with their own selection. Then we all get to pile in with our own ideas and there's been some very inventive answers among them too.
Come Monday morning and the game closes when the second batch are posted and then yours truly has to get off her butt and do some work !! - it's all been play up till then !!
Just some info. for any newcomers - there's no limit to the length of each word and all and sundry are more than welcome to take part - joining the Friday night Saturnalia in the shrubbery is not essential, but may get you into the right mood for a really good weekend !!
I hope you're all waking up to a very Good morning and I wish you all Good Luck as Silly Saturday gets under way
sorry about that, got waylaid or mislaid or something !!!
Ours will be a divided household tonight - Tony will be supporting the Boks having grown up in Botswana and just to be contrary, I'll have to go for England, even if the team does consist of a whole lot of neanderthals [ not sure about that spelling !! ] & one golden boot !!
Hi ash ... in the Sat Telegraph GK there are always 4 shaded answers that will link with similar answers in the GK Herculis Crossword on Mondays.
In a nutshell ... we have devised a little in-house competition to predict these link words, with points awarded throughout each calendar month to those guessing correctly.
You are more than welcome to join in. (S)
Hi ash24 - if you'd like to enter your predictions for the link words which will appear in Monday's Herculis, the words from this morning's puzzle are -
Seam
Eclipse
Tudor
Sorrel
we try to figure out what the matches will be as you'll be able to see from previous entries - give it a go, you can only get hooked like the rest of us and you're very welcome.
Cheers, S
