MM and KM Links April [Week 2]

[crofter]

I've just returned from the Supermarket with arms filled with Easter Eggs. On Sunday, the Croft will be playing host to the family (including grandson, Harry). Consequently, I am running a little late in announcing that this will be the second week when Baron Brian will once again set the words to be linked!

Tomorrow morning should be business as usual; the posting should open at 8.45am and the four words to be linked should be declared at 9.00am for Week 2 of our Link Game ~ hopefully with lots of points on offer. Of course, it will also be the second week for the international version of this same game which is called KM Links and kicks off at an earlier time. Why not chance your arm at both Link Games? They remain open for most of the weekend and all entries are scored and entered on to master scoreboards.

Until tomorrow, Happy Linking!

:o)

Good evening jan - happy easter.
Where is everyone tonight, surely they haven't all gone away for the weekend.

[Strix]

They've probably had a surfeit of sicky creme eggs and are clutching their stomachs and regretting their excesses!

Evening strix.
Something that has always puzzled me is what chocolate eggs and rabbits have got to do with Easter

[sarumite]

Good evening girls and boys ... it looks as if us lads are in the driving seat for a change ! (S) ;O)

[jan1956]

where are the rest of the girls when you need them???
heeeeeelp I am surrounded

[Strix]

xray, it is all to do with the goddess Eostre (or Eastre) and all the eggs and bunny rabbits (and the Resurrection) have to do with new life and re-birth after the long winter months.
So that explains the eggs and the bunnies but I am not sure where chocolate comes into the mythology!

[Strix]

Well, jan, one of the harpies has sauntered off to some port in the nether regions of England to overdose her daughter and grand-children with Cacao and the other is probably trying to find a recipe for chocolate-Regs!

[jan1956]

yes Kay has gone down south and Pauline is busy but am sure they will both pop in later
hope i am not left with all the washing up on here tonght!

Thanks for that info Strix on the eggs and bunnies.
Presumably one is supposed to eat the eggs not the bunnies, unless they're covered in chocolate

[Ont-ice]

Don't despair Jan. I am here for you if only for a short time.

[Strix]

Right, lads, now we now who's doing the washing-up, lets break out the best glasses and china, open a few bottles and order in some take-away Indian and Chinese. First one to be sick is a sissy

[Ont-ice]

Oh! Strix. Have some vodka instead and smash the glasses against the shrubbery wall and no one will have to do any washing up.

[Strix]

But there Pauline and Kay's best glasses. Are you sure they won't mind?
Pass the bottle, that Bangalore Phal was a touch hot..

[Ont-ice]

If they leave their glasses around for all to use - well!

[x-ray]

Do we really need glasses ?
Pass the bottle

[jan1956]

thanks for the support Onty, what are you cooking for supper tonight?.

[Ont-ice]

Fish Jan. It's Good Friday.
Strawberries and rhubarb for dessert - not separate but cooked together. It's a Canadian thing. Yummy with ice cream.

[Ont-ice]

Did I say strawberries?

It looks like everyone has gone home early tonight so I'm off to cook the supper. Good luck tomorrow with the links.
