Bbc Quiz : Week 7

[Buenchico]

Hello again!

 

For the umpteenth year in a row, Royal Mail seem to have mislaid the giant sackload of Valentine's Day cards which I'm sure should have been landing on my doormat this morning.  It's simply not good enough, I say!

 

However I'm not too bothered really, as we're having birthday celebrations in our house today.  It's hard to believe that it's 11 years since the Feline Threesome came into the world!

Thinking of birthdays, this is for Karamia, with all best wishes for your big day this weekend:

. . . and finally moving onto the quizzes . . . 

I scored THREE out of seven in the grown-ups' quiz this week

and THREE out of five in the kids' one

I think that I should just have stuck to singing 'Happy Birthday to You' to the cats for at least the thousandth time today!

Hi Buen,

              On the last line of 'Happy Birthday to you', you need to raise your voice on the last line and 'to-oo yoou!' should be sung an octave higher and hung onto... it works (well my cat liked it!).

[Buenchico]

Hi J2!

I think that my cats would prefer that I'd simply remember the old adage, 'Silence is golden' 😺 😊

Evening, Chris.

5 and 3

[jourdain2]

Oops! I forgot to give my scores (cats are far more important).

3/7 and 4/5.  :)

[haras2]

Those pictures are just wonderful !!

3/7 v 2/7

3/5 v 3/5

Getting a bit tired of this vile weather, lost a couple of lambs this week, don't think the weather helped.

Gobolino, however, is weatherproof it seems. He is out on his rounds,no matter how cold, wet or windy.

Hope you are all keeping warm and dry. Have a good week.  😃

4/7 & 5/5

[kwillmott]

Looks like my scores are now back to normal  !!

 

Hope this finds you well  ; ))

[Karamia]

Good Evening, Chris!

My scores tonight are 4/7, 3/5

Firstly, thank you so much for your lovely Birthday wishes for my birthday on Sunday and for the wonderful video too! 

Secondly, let me wish the gorgeous trio Chequers, Moonbeam and Tablo a very Happy 11th Birthday also!

These three are the best Valentine's present anyone could ever receive and much better than any card! I am proud to share my birthday (almost) with them although I am far from 11 this year!

Your opening comment made me smile and reminded me of the times I was at College, in Halls of Residence, and my pigeon hole would be chock-a-block with cards arriving on Valentines Day! It raised a few eyebrows, and I'm not too sure I ever admitted the cards were (mainly) for my birthday!

I am of course looking forward to my first birthday as a Grandma this year with all the family, especially my beautiful granddaughter, coming round for a lovely celebration.

I wish you and the gorgeous cuties a fabulous weekend of celebrations and treats, plus a wonderful week ahead :-)

[Buenchico]

Of course the cats are far more important, Jourdain2!

Well done on beating me, anyway!

(I hope that Mr J2 is recovering well).

 

Well done with that 5/7, Scorpiojo!

 

Top of the tree, as usual, Lie-in King!

Well done!

 

Thanks for allowing me to beat you this week, Kwillmott 😊

 

Good evening, Haras2!

Those pictures still make me smile, no matter how many times I've seen them!

Thanks for allowing me toedge ahead of you with the quiz scores this week 😉

It looks like the weather will finally warm up over your way in the coming week

(I was sorry to read about the lambs).

Moonbeam used to base himself outdoors (like Gobolino) but I think that he's now feeling his age a bit and he's wisely decided that my bed is where he wants to be most of the time these days.

Have a good week!

 

[Buenchico]

Hi, Sam!

Your scores are only just behind mine this week.  

Better luck next week though!

 

Good evening, Karamia!

Well done on beating me!

I have to agree, of course, that the kittens were the loveliest possible Valentine's gift!  The Feline Threesome have been tucking into all of their favourite foods today (including some freshly-roasted chicken from Morrison's rotisserie counter, which they always love).

We all hope that you'll have a lovely day on Sunday and, of course, a great week to follow it too!

[Patsy33]

Good Evening, Buen x

Beautiful kittens! All grown up now. Your best buddies. 🥰

[Canary42]

2/7 and 1/5  - not my best.

[Buenchico]

Hiya, Patsy!

I had to keep reminding myself just how beautiful the kittens were when they started shredding all the curtains in my house only a few weeks after those pictures were taken! 😁

Thanks for allowing me to squeeze ahead of you in the score this week!

[Buenchico]

Better luck next week, Canary42!

[sandyRoe]

3/7 and 2/5.

My usual so-so score.

My cleaner remarked the other day that the kitten is growing by leaps and bounds.  I don't notice the growth until it's pointed out to me.  He's going to be a bruiser.

[Buenchico]

That's my typical range of scores these days too, Sandy!

Yes, before you know it, a kitten isn't a kitten any more but a full-grown cat!  (Not as cute, maybe, but no less adorable anyway!).

[Ken4155]

6/7 - hadn't realised Chas and Cammy had been wed so long.

3/5 - respectable enough, i suppose
