MM Links October 2012 Week 4
45 Answers
Lady Jill here, for the last time.
My theme last week was Hobbies. One thing I didn’t mention was gardening , probably because to me it’s a chore, not a pleasant leisure activity. A combination of circumstances has meant that I’ve had to take over the garden at home, and it doesn’t come naturally to me. I certainly don’t enjoy the day-to-day weeding, and our lawn is on an uphill slope (yes, I know that means it’s downhill coming back, but the back-breaking bit has been done by then!). Weeds grow as soon as I turn my back, two resident squirrels are competing to see which one can dig the deepest hole to bury hazelnuts, and the bamboos need cutting back again… However, I do enjoy a major project, and have tried to create a bank of heather round an old tree stump and attempted to build a rockery; but basically the plan is to keep everything as low maintenance as possible. And I must admit that raking up rustling leaves on a crisp autumn morning makes me feel at peace with the world.

No best answer has yet been selected by tearinghair. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.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 to make a new longer word or to make a well-known phrase or saying. The combination will never be a person's name.
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.
