MM Links October 2010 Week 1

[gen2]

What a hoot, I’m back again, and crofter has decreed that my new moniker is STRIX THE STARGAZER.

I was puzzled for a moment as to why. Then I remembered Oscar’s words “We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars”.

So maybe it is appropriate.

But being back and afflicting you all again was not something I had anticipated or hoped for! When crofter announced he would be away for the first two weeks of October and needed help, out of nowhere and like a rat up a drainpipe, came that Pauline volunteering my services as bean counter. Cheers, darling, I love you too! Then a couple of others agreed. But when (et tu Brutus) Aquagility put the boot it agreeing with them and additionally damning me with faint praise that was it! With friends like these…………..?

So on Saturday morning, after I had posted my MM link suggestions, I sent an email to crofter “offering” (did I have any option?) my services. When he didn’t accept straight away but replied writing “I SHALL RETURN” (sic) I should have smelt the vermin hanging in the air.

So tuning in on Sunday evening to see the scores I could see what crofter had already known – that I had two of the answers and was in the lead. My immediate reaction was “Holy cow, oh please no, NOT the double-whammy” Hoist on my own aroma. I could almost hear Pauline stirring the Stockpot whilst chortling with schadenfreude.

I'm an idiot. I've just raised my head from the Ryder Cup golf long enough to realise that I can't read - thought it said 'glass' not grass. Please may I change my last choice from 'glass mountain' to GrassHOPPER? Obviously no bonus point for that one if it turns out to be right. Sorry about that.
