Last week’s intro was rather hurried and I promised gen2 that I’d try and do a little better this week.

I wrote this during bank holiday Monday – May Day – whilst at work. In 1955, Pope Pius XII, apparently in response to the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists, instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, on 1 May.

Leisure is increasingly hard to distinguish from work, with the prevalence of new technologies. We all appreciate the joy of AnswerBank when trying to complete crosswords, or just ‘chat’ – but the PC in the home also brings the office into the home. And it’s a problem compounded by that real curse of working life – the Blackberry.*

Long walks on the beach or in the hills, even watching a film, can all be disturbed by that blinking red light that creeps under your skin and into your brain – given its addictive nature, no wonder it’s called the crackberry by many.

The other traditional May holiday – at least in the UK, comes at the end of the month. This year, due to some royal event or other, it’s been moved into June with an additional day, too. And then the constituent parts of the UK seem to go their separate ways in terms of ‘national’ holidays: 12 July in Northern Ireland to march; 6 August in Scotland and 27 August elsewhere for the Summer bank holiday.

Summer seems a long way off as the rain continues to fall... ... now officially the wettest drought since records began.

According to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that each of my pre-selected link words contains at least four letters and at most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts!

Each of the selected link words may go in front of, or behind my challenge word.

The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when gen2 will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
