This will be the third week in the reign of Queen Christiana (aka Jackie) and I expect great things from the next MM Champion (whoever they may be) as they start to assert authority over the proceedings. Remember that a good winning monthly total is EIGHT Points and we already have a promising bunch of worthies on FOUR Points after only two weeks!
I know that Queen Christiana returned to Portugal from the Home Counties via the Capital, and that left her in a sombre, reflective mood. In other words, look out tomorrow for a no-nonsense round for MM Links!
Tonight will be cold and very damp for the Shrubbery Squad, when they will need to be sharp at 09.00 tomorrow morning! That's the time when the MM Link Game is launched by Christiana, who sets her four words to be linked by clever prediction or lucky guesswork (it matters not)! She (who must be obeyed) will select the theme and the links!
If you think that that's early, the sister game (called KM Links) will be nearly two hours old by the MM launch time! Look for seekeerz from Oz who looks after the entries and scoring for that parallel game (from the other side of the world).
Good luck for tomorrow, when I fear the MOOD will change (is that cryptic for DOOM?). This game will select one winner and the rest are doomed to get nothing!
You have two more weeks to take control of the game.
was away last week so will have to play catch up on the points in both games. Pauline and Reg are away so I will light the bonfire and stick the spuds onderneath, Who would have thought a bonfire in July? We can taost marchmellow and then our toes and dry any soggy sleeping bags by the fire. http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/la486 /webimages/images/bonfire.jpg
Come on guys don't leave me all by myself in the damp shrubbery
Hello, Crofter, Steff, Christine and all of you. Here I am, back at last, bloody but unbowed. So far it has been a memorable summer - for all the wrong reasons.
It's too late for me to be a serious competitor for this month, but I will try to wake up in time to get things started tomorrow. If I sleep in - or indeed never wake up again - I'm sure Sarumite will get the ball rolling. Aq.
Hello Jan and Aquagility, what a horrible night here in the shrubbery.Even though I've got my wellies and cycling cape on the rain seems to be getting in everywhere.What sort of sailing do you do Aquagility ? At the moment you could probably sail in most counties of England with all the floods. I haven't scored any points this month so I am not a threat to anyone !!
Evening all ... sorry to be so late on parade.
I wondered when you might resurface Aqua old friend, I do hope you are not too waterlogged!!
My that baked potato looks good jan, think I'd like one of those.
Evsajo, it's so good to see you, even hidden under all that wet gear .. I think we all deserve a medal for being here this evening !! (S)
Hi all--bloomin' cold tonight. And no S, I don't want another glass of your homemade wine--that sock repeated on me for days! http://z.about.com/d/gospain/1/7/Y/4/-/-/mini- brandy.JPG
A bottle or two of this should warm us up.
Cheers

I wondered where the other damn sock was ... have you finished with it Barbara? I didn't think I should go clubbing with only one sock on, so stayed in hiding in the shrubbery!
Yes please, pass the bottle ... looks like two each ... that should be enough for an hour or so !! (S)
Do you really want it back S--it's a bit worse for wear.
I went to the docs because of the indigestion--he said it was all in my mind and I should see a sockiatrist--boom boom!
Just a quick hello tonight. I have two of my sons here with me in Portugal. The third returned to England today, via Luton, where he got caught in a tremendous traffic jam as the tunnel entrance to Luton airport was flooded. He set off from the Algarve at 8 a.m this morning and arrived home after 5 p.m having had to walk for 40 minutes complete with suitcase and hand baggage to the nearest tube station. Off to bed soon, so good night all
Sorry for gap in replying. Had to go round to afriend who's not well and have only just got back. She is OK just a bit fed up and lonely so stayed for a while. I suppose everyone is in bed now so I will see you tomorrow. Still like to know what Aq. sails!!!
