Welcome to the third week of links set by me, King Krophta the Quizzical, otherwise known as crofter. At this very moment I am in Tenerife enjoying the sun ~ it’s in the 70’s! I told you that I was trying to escape x-ray & Strix, as I once again rely on gen2 to act as locum. On holiday, we tend to relax during the day and plan an exotic meal in the evening. However, I shall miss my weekly cryptic challenges presented by Enigmatic Variations and The Spectator.
From an early age, I began to develop a competitive streak which started with cards and began to materialise in my school work. I began to enjoy examinations as providing a concrete way of demonstrating that I had more than a “Tom Sawyer” view of life. I was continually warned that I would eventually reach my pinnacle and I shouldn’t expect to come top of the pile forever. I suppose this was to prepare me for disappointment ~ but I was determined to ignore the warning and to realise whatever potential I had.
