Good morning everyone - rather dreary looking day, maybe some more rain around .....the BOM doesn't seem too sure so we have no way of knowing !! Interesting links again, we have .... PAN TITLE WHEEL...
I reckon that it's a week where it's almost impossible to score zero (because there are some 'absolute doddle' questions in there) but nearly as hard to get a really high score either (because there...
Not too bad this week, I think ;-) I couldn't do better than my usual score though, so that's a FOUR for me, which most of you lot will probably beat easily! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-54453512...
Just wanted to say if anyone's interested that the really bright star in the East at the moment is not the usual Venus or Jupiter but is in fact Mars! The brightest it will be this month until 2035....
My SIL compiles Xwords and sometimes sends me one to solve and comment on His clues often look initially incomprehensible but when the penny drops blindingly obvious Can you help? The clue is: Foil...
Good morning everyone - a long weekend here, start of daylight saving and it's hot, windy and humid, with rain on the way ....hope this is not an indicator for the Summer ahead ...don't like the idea...

Good morning everyone - well it's not blowing and it's not raining and that's a bonus after the week we've had, plus there was snow (not here, but in the mid- north) so we're all a bit stunned !! Now...
Week 39? It CAN'T be Week 39 really, can it? That would mean that three-quarters of the year has gone by already! Where did it all go, I ask? They say that time goes by faster as one gets older...
Hi folks, we are getting a border collie pup at the end of October. He's from a proper remote Pennine farm. We've trawled the net for a name we can give him. We've had collies before, Skye and Ricky...
Good morning everyone - not inspiring out there today, windy and a bit sticky, it should be raining but it's not ...maybe it will arrive tonight and give the gardens etc a really good drink !! Not too...
I think that it's one of the trickier weeks this week but you lot rarely agree with me! (That's the story of my life really, out of step with everyone else for most of the time!). So, as I scored a...
Good morning everyone - we're 'enjoying' a very mild pleasant day here when in fact it's meant to be raining so not sure whether to enjoy or not !! BOM has promised rain today for the best part of a...
I got the first 5 right then, despite having read the story, I screwed up on Q6 and I'd no idea at all (and couldn't guess correctly) on Q7. So that's a FIVE for me on what seemed to be a relatively...
Good morning everyone - the sun is shining, no wind and it's just gorgeous out there plus it'll be even better tomorrow .....yippee !! Of course it won't last but I'm going to enjoy it while it does...
