Bonjour and welcome to the first week of pitting your wits against Sir Strix the Stargazer. The redoubtable and ever�reliable crofter will be my white stick as I stumble through the setting of the MM Links. And if I, or my internet connection, should fall I know I can rely on crofter to pick up the baton, to keep running and launch the link words at 9.00 am. At this point I should point out that if my posts go swimmingly and arrive on time then all credit is due to crofter but if it goes base over apex then it is totally my fault.
Thank you Sir Strix and I do like your polite 'base over apex' although I would probably use the slightly coarser phrase!!!! Here's one of your stargazing pals!
