Good morning everyone - a lovely sunny Autumn morning, a bit on the nippy side, but they say rain later on ...well I'm not complaining, the rain has been a bit late this year and we need a bumper...

A disastrous start for me this week, with the first 4 all wrong. However I managed better from then on, to achieve my regular score of 3. Still easy enough to beat though, I think!...
Good morning everyone - a bit on the warm side today, but I don't think it will last .....not that it matters, stuck inside as we all are ......nobody has started clapping yet, it might take a while...
A half-decent score of 4 for me this week: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52046462 Brainiac has already reported his/her score on another thread but I won't repeat it here in order to save...
Good morning everyone - our run of lovely days continues, mild and sunny, with just a nip in the air at night that reminds us to break out the bed socks - it's almost been too good to be true - March...
