On final attempt before I throw in the recycle bin !!!
16. Is this a very large goose. Spruce ? 21. Take exhalts and churn. 26. A place for storing scenery in a theatre. 29. Take a crude form of saddle and mix. 56. Put a note between discoloured and protective covering. 63. Sew a border on, add a note to very small. ....weed ? 75. ? Day 92. Scramble to prop: a stale joke. 97. Churn together a treated tissue, a facial feature and a deep trench. Is balm in there somewhere ?
I think its a good job that I am not doing this particular quiz. I am sorry I can't help tho I thought that the space above a stage where scenery was kept was called the fly space. Quite how this might convert to a plant I have no idea...... Sorry
jodder ... I'm not sure either but will go and have a think so thanks for that xx
Hi M ... Many thanks for those. I am getting fed up now. I've never managed to finish one of these on my own !
I think I have an answer for the rest of quiz so ask away, you're always helping me. I'd like to return the favour xx
Thanks for the offer of help EK. My additional missing ones are:
4. Something that is nearby, a drink, the French
27. Toothless tail-less amphibian, make linen from this
31. Distress Roman clothing with a point; add a note to purport
58. Take to entice and mix
59. Plump; female bird
86. A Turkish standard marking rank by number
87. Tremulous
94. Muddled soil, add a note to expanse of water
The more the merrier julesy ... I was told by OH that it might be Holly but I think I prefer your Poppy ... Now, there's a dilema. Which ones do you want as I got two after posting last night. xx
I have Heartsease for 94. Earth+seas+e. How do you get sedum (where is the expanse of water?). And I have something else for 31 which fits as well so could be down to the setter's interpretations.
Also struggling on
21, 43 , 52, 56, 58, 80, 97.
I've never finished a Matlock Quiz either but I always send it in to find out the mistakes I made! And for some inexplicable reason I always get the next quiz!!!!
Hi Munden ... now you have me !!!
soil = mud=dum
e = note
s= sea
I can see yours now ... fits better methinks !
What's your 31 then ...
21. praise = spirea now I look again I'm wondering if it fits with the wildflower weeds theme ???
52. clove + r
80. dead nettle ?
can't help or hinder further munden, sorry
I'm posting tomorrow and good ridance I say. I'll just guess the others if need be. xx
Like Munden I always get the new quiz with my answer sheet. My first thoughts were this would be easier than the last (being a country girl with gardening as main hobby!!) Feel I must send in my answers now having had all the fun of trying and my donation goes with the form. Will spend this last evening trying to solve 29,56, 58 and 97 unless anyone can help?
