This first week in the present reign of Princess Pauline went as smooth as clockwork with a topical tennis theme. I can now reveal the chosen links were:

GARDEN Centre
Court JESTER
Grass HOPPER
Single CREAM

This proved to be a week for healthy scoring but with no-one breaking ahead of the field!

The first to fall with Entrant #1 was SINGLE CREAM when ulysses100 returned in record time with an early success to gain TWO POINTS. After a string of mis-hits, came a spurt of sharp shooters. At 09.03, forward entered as the COURT JESTER with two others in cliffyg & Dinkypuzzled immediately following for a trio of TWO POINTS.

Around this time, an early entry by wickedtongue captured (the devious) GRASSHOPPER for the third link to be spotted with the clock still on 09.03. In fact several entries were lodged at 09.04 to be TOO LATE for bonus points. Showing how swift the entries arrive in the opening session, burgess3334 was Entrant #20 and claimed GARDEN CENTRE with the clock still at 09.04.

There were many 2-pointers, but only one person was to find TWO hits and that was keyboardix who I nominate as HOT SHOT OF THE WEEK!
Well, at least WARM SHOT OF THE WEEK!!
*** Three Cheers for this early success ***

Well done Keyboardix and thank you Crofter
well done the point scorers

will be awol next week unless I can get wi fi

See you next week: Same time � Same place

Until then: HAPPY LINKING!

:o)
Congrats keyboardix and ta to THE crofter.

Now young Pauline, you are a minx, why weren't any of my links correct?

Nevermore will I play you music.

Who in their right mind messes with single cream, it is like not having a real drink and having a shandy. Double cream on porridge with a spoonful of sugar and some salt, now that's a proper start to the full Scottish breakfast.

Better warn Sarumite that he will be sent down to the local garden centre to find some insecticide for grasshoppers and whilst he is eating his pudding with single cream he will expected to be the court jester.

Sarumite, beware, think Yorick.............
,,,,, and I hoped I understood how your mind worked, Pauline! How wrong can I be?
I've met you and I still don't know how your mind works!!!!!
Thanks Crofter for scoring (I didn't give you any trouble) thanks Pauline for your choice of words and congrats to keyboardix. Also welcome to Chrisaor.
Next Saturday i will be staying at Paulines house so I don't know if i will be able to post my answers. I wouldn't cheat honestly (you know Pauline wouldn't let me!!!)
I have been called many things, but never "hot shot of the week", which I appreciate very much, crofter. Thank you.
Kay you must post next week because if you didn't you would be saying that we don't trust you and we'll all be offended!! See? no way out!!

Thank you Princess Pauline. I absolutely knew that Grasshopper would be right - it sort of fell into the dragonfly category. The Owl man should have spotted that!
And thank you crofter for all the abacussing and things! :0)
Well - another blank - not even one point.
Thanks again crofter and to you Pauline. (Lady Limerick ??)
Congratulations keyboardix, hot shot of the week and all you other scorers. Still a wide open contest though.
Hope your party goes well next weekend Pauline, should be an interesting shrubbery encounter on Friday.
Meanwhile, hope you all have a great week and get some better weather.
I'm wondering if the only way to get recognition will be at the end of the year - number of entries x number of 0 points - total number of points = season's worst performer........

Well done all those who troubled the scorer.
