MM and KM Links April 2010 [Week 2]

[crofter]

I am pleased to note that the first week in the reign of “Lady Jan” went smoothly, although many would sat that “Women’s Hour” was an inappropriate link. I always like to allow the setter as much freedom as possible with his/her choice of link words and I was convinced that no-one would predict that particular link!

Tomorrow, it looks as if the weather is definitely turning Spring-like and the gardeners can begin to set to work to get everything in order for Summer. The frogspawn in the nearby pond is starting to elongate in the early stages of metamorphosis, as Mother Nature works her magic for regeneration.

Be on the look out for “Lady Jan” who should be making her launch tomorrow morning ~ starting her posting at 8.45am and declaring her four words to be linked at 9.00am, when MM Links kicks off in earnest. Remember (with MM Links) ~ early hits gain bonus points! This is not to be confused with the international version of this same game which is called KM Links and kicks off at a very early hour (which is difficult to predict precisely). Consequently, the timing of your posting is deemed to be irrelevant ~ only the number of hits you are able to register.

The regular organiser of KM Links comes all the way from Oz and goes by the name of “seekeerz”. As 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.

Until I see you tomorrow ~ “Happy Linking”!

:o)

crofter, is "frogspawn" a French blue movie?

[crofter]

Do I detect a touch of Frank O'Fobia?

[Dustybun]

Good evening crofter and Strix! Before i go rushing out I just want to leave you a link that someone sent me today. 1944 ~ a bit 'booge-woogie bugle boy'-ish but look what happens after the song! I wonder if Simon Cowell knows about these ladies! Lol Enjoy your evening in the shrubbery ~ I may get back before the wine runs out!!

evening all!
hope you are all fit and well ready to do the links in the morning
I will have to dash as soon as I have entered the links as I am at work at 10am
we have moved lots of lines round the store so customers are getting lost so I am helping them find what they are looking for
although most seem to want the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
and all think they are the first to say it(((((((

Evening all...I will be late posting my guesses tomorrow Jan. We are going to collect our latest addition to the family. A little friend for Amber!

I will post later on though. Just going to watch Dustybun's link now.

Strix...you are terrible...but that was funny. Made Reg laugh too...

[tearinghair]

Good evening everyone. I'm sitting dopily in front of the computer screen trying to work up enthusiasm for something - anything! - in betwen checking progress at the Masters in Augusta. Can a Brit win it this year? No, of course not. Can I get a point from Jan's links tomorrow? No, of course not. Will my two horrible moggies stop bringing me presents of mice? No (etc). Will the sun come up tomorrow? Probably.

[jan1956]

just want to say that womans hour was not inappropriate as last week I spoke of ladies gving up chocolate
so their was a link to women
glad many of you saw through the links and gained points

[paulineward]

Just had to go to another computer...my laptop is playing up!

Loved the link Dustybun! The ladies of the shrubbery don't change!

tearinghair...you do seem disillusioned...
and will politicians tell the truth?..no! I have resorted to shouting at my telly!

Jan...I did wonder at an apostrophe last week. I remember wanting to use one when I did the links once, and chose against it. Well it was guessed anyway!
Look forward to tomorrow, albeit later on,...does wine make you chat?...I am happy to pour you aglass or two!

[tearinghair]

feeling my age a little, Pauline! it will pass..... going to cheer myself up by watching the inexplicable Ashes to Ashes; after that, life has to seem straightforward!

[paulineward]

A bad week tearinghair?

I have the roof being done next week, and scaffolders arrived today at 7am!! They were due Tuesday morning! They got told in no uncertain terms... I think next week is going to be a very long one.

[jan1956]

yes it does Pauline
had a couple of beers so no wine and an early night (i am a party pooper)
Need to be bright and early tomorrow for work as well as the links
Things to do before work as well
look forward to the pics of the new friend for amber

[paulineward]

You will be okay Jan...have another! :-))

[paulineward]

Where is everyone?
I don't think I like the idea of going to bed with scaffolding up...and a walk along plank outside my bedroom window! :-))

[tearinghair]

Having watched Ashes to Ashes I'm still in a complete fog about what's going on there!
It's not so much a bad week just past, Pauline, but the prospect of a difficult one to come. Just a bit stressful as I'm stepping out of what I believe the current jargon calls my 'comfort zone'. Am now feeling more bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, however (that makes me sound like a squirrel) so will look forward to tomorrow's two links games.

[paulineward]

Well I will be thinking of you tearinghair. I hope it goes as well as it can do, whatever it is.
I will be later logging on, so I will have to leave you all to see if you can suss Jan out!
