MM Links November 2010 [Week 3]

Good morning to all MM linkers (that is, those who have decided not to hibernate now that winter is well and truly approaching).

This week's preamble will be fairly brief, as I have spent most of this week being patronised by my two-year granddaughter. On the positive side, she has taught me how to work her mother's iPad.

In any case, my biography over the next few decades [viz. moving to England, getting married, having four children as well as a career] has become a kaleidoscopic blur.

Needless to say, I shall follow the rules on word length introduced by crofter. Each of my chosen link words contains at least four letters and at most eight. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one or more of your attempts! Each of my selected words may go in front of or after my challenge word. The competition will officially close at 7.00pm on Sunday evening, when crofter will declare my selected words, then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past.

My third set of words to be linked will appear below at 9.00am.
