Bbc Quiz : Week 43

[Buenchico]

Good evening!

My body clock says that it can't possibly be a week since we last did this but my calendar says otherwise.  So here goes!

I scored my usual 'middling' FOUR out of seven in the main quiz this week:

. . . and a 'better than usual' FOUR out of five in the junior quiz:

Your turn!

2 in the first one and 4 in the juvenile section.

Good Evening, Chris!

My scores this week are

5/7, 4/5

I am having a good week so far having won £30 on lottery and £100 on premium bonds, so hopeful of a third if these things come in 3's!!

I have had a splurge on some garden lights and items after tidying up from  Storm Babet and things are looking much brighter out there which has really cheered me up.

The weeks are indeed flying by, but I think I have found the perfect Xmas gift to solve your problem with Chequers taking over your chair when you are on the computer.

I must admit though to having a chuckle at the thought of Moonbeam and Tablo trying to sneak on there also, so as not to be left out!

Wishing you and the gorgeous kitties a wonderful week ahead 😀

Evening Chris.

 

3/7

 

2/5

 

Not the greatest scores I've ever posted  !!

 

Hope this finds you well  ; ))

Chris, there's something very wrong. I scored 4/7 and 5/5. I actually knew all the junior answers. I'm awarding myself 5 house points!

[Canary42]

I did quite well (for me) on the junior as usual with 3, but a disappointing 1 on the main.

[campbellking]

5/7,4/5. Got the one about the cat wrong in the kid's quiz. Bailey snuggled up with me on the sofa, says it is getting colder, Puss Puss planning his nighttime jaunts...hope all is good with you and yours.

[Buenchico]

Hi, Sandy!

You're clearly more childlike than grown up this week ;-)

 

That would appear to apply to Canary42 as well!

 

Good evening, Sam!

A lttle below par for you, maybe, but at least you've avoided any disasters!

I'm remarkably well for an old 'un, thank you!  I hope that you're in fine fettle too!

 

Stuff the house points, 10CS!  Award yourself extra time on your roller skates, a bag of gob stoppers and a big ice cream!  (Well done!)

 

Hi, Karamia!

Well done on beating me!

Well done too on those wins.  It seems ages since I  last had a win on the National Lottery :(

Lights in your garden?  Your neighbours will think that you're all ready for Christmas!

Thanks for the hat idea; it really made me laugh!  However, with Chequers weighing in at around 9kg, I'm not sure that my neck muscles are strong enough ;-)

The Troublesome Trio and I all hope that you've got a lovely week ahead of you - hopefully with that third win ;-)

 

[Lie-in King]

5/7 & 4/5 - a few guesses involved...

Good Evening, Buen x

Guesses all count, Sandy - and you're joint top anyway!

 

Well done on beating me, Campbellking!

My lot have noticed that it's getting colder too.  Tablo seems to be basing herself in the kitchen much of the time because I tend to use my oven a lot (in the hope that some of the heat willspread around my tiny house) at this time of the year.  So she likes to sleep on a stool next to the oven.  Moonbeam and Chequers clearly want me to turn some proper heating on but I'm still holding out at the moment.  (They both like to sleep on top of me at night, whch can make getting to sleep very difficult for me!)

We're all well thanks, as I hope that you, Puss Puss and Bailey all are too!

[Buenchico]

Hiya, Patsy!

Joint top! Well done!

[kwillmott]

Well not good scores this week - but at least no zero!

2/7

2/5

 

 

 

 

[Buenchico]

Hi, Kwillmott!

Yes, think positive!  No zeros and plenty of scope for improvement too 😊

[scorpiojo]

2 (😱)

5/5

[Buenchico]

Hi, Scorpiojo!

Another perfect kid, I see! (We'll gloss over your other score, shall we?). 

Treat yourself to extra time with your Barbie dolls and a sherbet dip!

[haras2]

2/7

3/5

Maybe I should watch more telly

Shady fine, I hope you , Chequers , Moonbeam and Tablo are all enjoying life in deepest Suffolk :-)

[jourdain2]

I can't believe it either.  3/7 and 3/5 - and most of them were guesses!  Off to bed now.  :)

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Haras2!

You're only allowed to watch more telly if Shady is allowed to cuddle up with you while you're doing it 😺.

All is well here, thank you, now that our little town is no longer cut off by floods! (Chequers has just arrived on my knee, while Moonbeam is settling down on my bed next to me. Tablo's keeping warm in the kitchen because I've got the oven on).

I hope that you and Shady will have a lovely (and not too cold) week!

[Buenchico]

Guesses all count, Jourdain2!

Sleep well! 💤

[scorpiojo]

Hi, Chris

 

No Barbie dolls, thank you. I'd rather have Lego 😁
