MM and KM Link Games July Wk4

[gen2]

In the shrubbery something stirs. Sounds like a cross between a duck's quack and a crow's caw but with the volume turned down. I'm sheltering from the rain beneath the old pine tree whilst all the time the scolding moves eerily above me. Around me is a bed of nettles which twitches each leaf at random as drips fall from the upper branches.

Nettles? Why are there nettles in the shrubbery? Has it really been neglected for that long? Will it ever stop raining? Will that presence above me ever shut up? So many questions and too few answers.

Reality sinks in. Yes, there have been many months of unchecked growth in the shrubbery, but at least it hides the detrius of the Bacchanalian excesses of a past era.

As I accept the inevitability of getting wet and move out from my shelter, a complaining squirrel makes its escape from the branches via the potting-shed roof. I must also make my escape in order to prepare for the morning's MM Links Game.

It starts with an intro at 8:45am (in Q&P) followed at 9:00 by the four link words to be matched. This month's game is being set by 'The Ice Queen' (aka OntIce) from her palace in Canada. Every answer has a word length from 4 to 8 letters and after each link is detected, bonus points are available for the following two minutes. The best advice then is to get in early for the best chance of those bonus points. The game ends at 7pm Sunday.

[paulineward]

Yes...because I can hear Kay better from upstairs!

[paulineward]

Well gen2...we are trampling the nettles down a bit tonight, hope we don't get stung by Ont-ice again tomorrow!

[evsajo]

I don't expect I will do any good, especially not after this wine !!!

[Aquagility]

Sarumite, watch your step amongst all that undergrowth - there are
man-traps lurking there!

[evsajo]

Send me a man over anytime.......I won't even bother with the trap !!!! Pauline is writing this !

[paulineward]

This is Kay.....send ME the man!

Good evening all...I found Pauline and Kay wandering around the shrubbery, together with various others. It looks like it still needs a scythe being taken to it!
