Apologies for being a little late this evening. I was out busy counting butterflies for the 'Big Butterfly Count'. There is still time to join in as it continues until Aug 11th.

A warm welcome to new player elliemay1. She even managed to score a point. Way to go Ellie!

The game has now closed and I can now reveal that Baron Brian's chosen links were:

BATON TWIRLER
ROPE LADDER
JAIL BIRD
ENGINE ROOM

You may have been expecting x-ray to be setting this month's challenges, but as explained on Friday night, x-ray unfortunately had to decline so beejay took up the BATON.

A good game with 32 points awarded.
How many of them went to you?

Tearinghair was first out of the shrubbery and claimed 2 points for ENGINE ROOM with Pixie373 in time for a bonus too.

Next down was JAIL BIRD when second player Rockfordill used his 'get-out-of-jail-free' card. Evsajo, Brenden, Strix and Fordward were also in time for the bonus on this one. 2 points each.

9:03 and Evsajo also opted for BATON TWIRLER for another 2 points. Pixie was also in time for a bonus on this one too.

The final link only managed to hold out until 9:06 when cliffyg mastered the knack of climbing a ROPE LADDER.

With 5 double-hitters and two of them with bonus points, I have to declare joint hotshots this weekend.

Thanks Gen2, but I think I climbed out of oblivion by using my 'Rope Ladder'.
Thanks gen, was I allowed 'twirling'? Must do better
Question Author
Sorry, so you did Twix. Scoresheet amended accordingly.
I had prepared the basis of my report before I went out this afternoon, but although I had noted that you had played, I hadn't put it into the list.
Question Author
Yes Psybbo, you should have been allowed twirling. I'll check what happened.
Question Author
Yes Psybbo, you are in the list with 2 points. 1 for baton twirler and 1 for jailbird. Just singles for each as you were outside the 2-minute bonus window for each of them.
Thank you, Gen2, for your scoring and listing.

p.s. shows my ignorance but have never, before, heard of a "baton twirler".
Is this something that is indulged and encouraged in some of our former colonies on the other side of the herring pond?
Wow, I am joint Hot shot of the week !! That's a turn up for the books !!! lol. Strix, have you never seen a marching band ?The person at the front is quite often the baton twirler.!
Thanks Gen x
Thanks Baron Brian and Gen2.
We also have a great crop (what is the collective noun for butterflies?) this year. I think they'll be keeping a low profile today, though, as it's tipping it down.
Thank you for the welcome,gen2. Will try harder next week!!
