MM Links December [Week 4]
47 Answers
Good morning AB Linkers..
When you read this I should be far too busy taking pictures of penguins and, if I'm lucky, seals, to worry whether my house is still standing after my children's traditional after Christmas poker night party!
My last snapshot showed me running wild. This happy state of affairs quickly came to an end when I was sent away to a convent boarding school suitably be-gloved and be-hatted. When I left four years later, I could eat an orange with a knife and fork, write a reference for a housekeeper, and had a pretty good knowledge of Latin military vocabulary. Decades on, I still wait for any of those impressive life skills to be of the slightest use to me.

One of the worst things about school was the fact that books were kept under lock and key (subversive things, books!), and could only be read on high days and holidays with permission of the Mistress of Studies. But in the corner of the Study Hall there were some ancient volumes of Poetry, somehow overlooked. These I read and re-read, and to this day I can take pleasure in the odd verses that spring to mind, even on days when I've forgotten most other things - including where I've left my car keys.
Devoted as I am to the "rools", I will follow those 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 final set of words to be linked will appear below at 9.00am.
