Scoring was brisk from the very beginning with STRING VEST claimed by forward, burgess, sarumite, miss meg, centrino & lysander in a steady stream within the two-minute window to score bonus points. In fact, there were even more STRING VESTS than that, since both beejay1124 & Dinkypuzzled were in time AND also carried ARROW ROOT to score FOUR POINTS to add to their running totals. Around this time jan1956 also scored Two Points for her Arrow Root! Well done to you all!
But there was more to come since FEATHER WEIGHT fell to Strix at 09.02am and RAIN BOW was picked up by Christiana at 09.03am to complete the quartet of link words. To my surprise and delight, ulysses100 yet again claimed a double whammy with Rainbow AND Featherweight to bring home FOUR POINTS! Our thoughts are with ulysses100 at this time and completion of routine tasks is a good way to try to get back to �normality� (whatever that is).
JIMjools was the last entrant to benefit from bonus points before the clock struck 09.06am, when Eiggam had a double hit but was out of time by one minute! In fact, greengoddess was the only other double hitter in a long stream of singles. Over the full round there were three entrants to score Four Points and in two cases these brought their totals to a handsome Eight Points. However, in the final case the person was already on Six Points and so rocketed up to Ten Points!
