MM and KM Links February 2009 [Week 2]

[crofter]

Welcome to the second week of our new setter, Queen Dustybun. The first week followed an accepted pattern of few points scored overall, in spite of most of the links being spotted within reasonable time. I have no doubts that the second week will prove to be better. Surely, there can be no prizes for guessing tomorrow's theme, although quite often it is of little help. Personally, I am more concerned that the launch goes smoothly ~ without upset.

[crofter]

As usual, the launch of the MM Links Game should begin with the posting opening at 8.45am and the four words to be linked should be declared at 9.00am. Whereas Dustybun will set the links for the MM Game, the international version of this same game (called KM Links) kicks off at an earlier time (usually about 7.00am) and is out of control of mere mortals. Look out for our regular organiser from Oz, seekeerz, who is melting in the middle of an Australian Summer. She will be assessing results for KM Links (an international version of MM Links). I always say, why not chance your arm at both Link Games? They remain open for most of the weekend and all entries are scored and entered on to master scoreboards.

With luck we shall all meet up tomorrow to continue our February Linking!
There�s everything to play for ~ so stake your claim!

and all is repeated 4 weeks on
evening strix, hope you are ok,
how is the leg?
two members hubbies have sprained ankles this week

[Strix]

Jan, it is slowly getting better but still requires, on occasions, the ibuprofen and paracetamol. Am seeing the quacks of Monday to see if I can start to put weight on my foot. In the meantime I wave my crutches in a menacing manner at anyone who gets too close to my unplastered injured leg!!

[paulineward]

Evening all....all these injured men! They surely should be used to putting there foot in it by now!

[jan1956]

Pauline, what say we line them up and play domino rally with them all??? (only joking strix)

[Dustybun]

good evening all! Hope you're all keeping warm - especially in the Shrubbery. Good to hear the fighting talk Strix. The toon is good but you need some atmosphere!

Hope to catch up later. :0)

[evsajo]

Hello, will be around for a while but have got a sore throat so will go to bed at a reasonable hour.......well I will try!!!Hello Jan Pauline and Strix. Glad to hear your leg is improving.

[paulineward]

Too much talking Kay!!!
....what was that big fat hint anyway Queen Dusty that Crofter was giving us?

[evsajo]

Oh so sorry Dustybun, how could I possibly miss some one as clever and word wise and brainy and friendly and helpful....etc. as you.!!!!!!
SHHHHH any clues

[evsajo]

Pauline don't you know what tomorrow is?????

[paulineward]

The day after today?.....Hmmm yes I realise now...it's been a long day!

[x-ray]

Good evening everyboby. So what's special about February 14th ?
Oh yes, that's the day the roses cost twice as much, especially the red ones.

[paulineward]

You're so right x-ray!!
Also they are all half dead!

I was going to visit a freind this afternoon...an old school mate....and stopped off for some flowers, I found it hard to get decent ones...not covered in red heart extra's!

[evsajo]

I went to see The Fortunes and the Rocking Berries on Sunday. The Fortunes were brilliant even though they have a new lead singer (he is one of the Dakotas) Sadly the original singer,Rod died a year ago but although the sound is not quite the same it was a fantastic show

[paulineward]

That takes me back a bit Kay! Brilliant!

[jan1956]

Kay, it is like Queen now that freddy is no longer with them,
when the lead singer goes the sound changes

Pauline you should come to our shop
our flowers are definately not half dead, although they do have a red balloon heart with most of them
we also have a raffle for a meal for 2 at the restaurant near by
drawn tomorrow( the voucher is in my locker) so I may just loose it (lol)
hope you get a rose or two from reg
jan

[Strix]

Ah my darlings...

"Roses are red
Violets are blue
Some poems rhyme
Others don't"

But of all the many Valentine cards I received all those years ago (ho-ho, who's fibbing now?!) my favourite inscription in one of them (quoting Ogden Nash) was this:

"I'm no saint and I have my doubts about Valentine too.."

Oh well, old age and a bad leg are telling me to go to bed clutching my pills.

Behave badly you lot in my absence and see you all in the morning as we try to fathom the depths of Dusty's mind.

No doubt you will, then, all be surrounded by cards, roses, and chocolates from your many admirers but I don't want to hear about the risqu� lingerie - I'm not sure the ticker could stand the excitement!!

[paulineward]

I loved Queen with Freddy Mercury.

Jan...Reg and I are going out for breakfast together in the morning...and a walk. We are finding some 'us' time...instead of flowers! It will mean more.

Then tomorrow night my neighbour has his 60th Birthday this weekend...so I am doing a meal here for him and his wife with Reg and I...not far for them to stagger home!

Not decided what to cook yet....so any suggestions are welcome...something easy to prepare!

[jan1956]

enjoy your "us time" I am at work 2-6 tomorrow
steve is 6 in the morning till 12 so think we are having a take away and a glass or two!
