MM and KM Links Sept 2012 Week [4]

[gen2]

'It's That Man Again' (That sounds like a catchphrase to me! Do you think it will catch on?)
Yes I'm back to remind you all of the two guessing games played here in Q&P every weekend.

First is the KM Links Game based on the Daily Telegraph GK Crosswords which starts early on Saturday morning with a post by Seekeerz. There is no rush so play any time before midnight on Sunday.

The second one is our own version (The MM Links) which is set each month by one of the AB players. This month, the challenge is being set by Fordward who has been reasonably generous with the points so far. Will it continue? Who knows? In any case, the game is introduced in Q&P at 8:45 tomorrow followed by the challenge words at 9:00. As each link is discovered, a bonus window is opened for the following two minutes. To have the best chance of claiming a bonus point, early play is advised. This is week 4 of 5.

Here in the shrubbery, things are looking up. The previously waterlogged ground is drying out but air temperatures are dropping and autumn colours are creeping into some of the leaves. At least the dryer weather has let the local farmers finally harvest their barley - must be one of the latest ever.

I'll leave it up to you now to utilise this thread for socialising and scheming.

Until tomorrow morning then,
Happy Linking

Good evening gen2 and Pauline.
Came through Kirkcaldy yesterday on the train from Stonehaven to Kings Cross and thought of you gen2. We had been in Stonehaven at my grandsons wedding last weekend - I missed the links games due to this, but now back home ready for this weekends challenges

Evening All, been jolly cold here today even had the heating on. Summer clothes all put away and winter woollies coming out. We are off to Gen 2 country on 6th October so I think it will be a case of thermals.

[gen2]

Good to see you here Pauline. I take it you are having one of your better days?

Are you allowed to partake of alcohol?

[gen2]

I did wave to you x-ray. honest I did.
But on second thoughts, I was mebbe just wiping the rain from my brow.
Hope you had a good time.

[gen2]

Hi Laney, Yes, we have had the heating on this week as well - It does a good job but I top it up with a dram each night.

Third week in October is usually best for autumn colours in Scotland but some are changing already this year.

[paulineward]

I am not too bad at the moment gen2...but alcohol is banned with my tablets! :-((((

[x-ray]

Hi gen2
I thought I saw somebody waving. Actually it was quite sunny when we came through there. Yes I quite enjoyed the stay in Scotland and surprisingly the weather was very good - even some warm sunshine on a several days.
Sorry to hear of your "ban" from alcohol Pauline, hope things improve for you soon

[paulineward]

I will have a hot chocolate x-ray. :-)
Boring but better than coffee all the time.

[LaneyB]

Enjoy your hot chocolate Pauline it will keep you warm.
Gen we are going to our usual haunt in Aberfoyle with our friends, it was cold and wet last year so we are hoping it will be dry this year, I don't really mind the cold we can always have a wee dram!

[paulineward]

You should see the whiskey stock gen2 has Laney!

[gen2]

That's just in case we ever get snowed in Pauline - Emergency rations.
