Good evening, all!

 

Only a month to go now before we can all give people lots of clothes that they’ll never wear and they can all give us lots of food that we don’t like. (Isn’t Christmas wonderful?)

 

I thought that I was on a roll this week, answering the first three questions in the main quiz correctly. Alas, that’s as far as it went though. So that’s just THREE out of seven for me:

I could only manage TWO out of five in the junior quiz too :(

It’s your turn now!

Well done on beating me on both quizzes, Campbellking!

I'm glad that Puss Puss and Bailey are eating normally now.  I seem to be constantly worrying that one of my lot is off his/her food for a while, only to see them heartily tucking into a meal only a short while later.  I sometimes think that our cats do it deliberately, just to remind us all how much we love them!

The gang here are all fine at the moment, anyway, and life seems to be going smoothly enough in Chez Buenchico at the moment.

I hope that you and the Delightful Duo will have a lovely week.

Even worse this week. 1/7. 1/5.

Oh dear, Caran - and I thouht that this would be the week that you'd beat me!

Better luck next week!

4/7 - 3/5 - i've sent my name to the wrong planet!

Well done on beating me, twice over, Ken!

I was never very good on the astronomy part of my Physics course at college.  So I was unsurprised when I got that question wrong too!

Thanks Chris. First time doing the quiz for a long time.

3/7
4/5

Hi, Twix!

Welcome back - with better scores than mine, I see!

Morning !

Middle of the road - 3 & 3 respectively

Better than me though, JJ109!

Oh dear me, aren't we feeling the Christmas spirit, chico. The answer is research, eyes and ears open in the months before the big day. If there are no clues, ask

All the fours this week, so not too bad, some guesses as usual. I don't know where they get their news from but it's not the same place as me! 

Hope your furry friends are well and happy. Mine don't like the cold so are spending long periods of time curled up in tight balls on their blankets. I can't wait til my husband deems it cold enough to have the heating on during the day. He's younger than me and doesn't feel the cold like I do.

Won't be around next week, hopefully, I should be having my new hip on Friday. It's my fourth date so I really want it to go ahead. I am a bit anxious though.

Hiya, Roo!

Well done with those scores!  Joint top!

The Troublesome Trio don't like the cold but they seem to be finding ways of keeping warm enough.  (I've got to buy a new cat bed for Moonbeam later on though.  He likes to sleep at the foot of my bed but, as I move during the night, I tend to pull the covers away from him.  So I'm going to place a small cat bed at the foot of my bed, so that he'll always have something to snuggle up next to).

I keep my heating on 24 hours a day but only on a very low setting.  (I've not got central heating; it's just an oil-filled radiator).  That generally keeps the house warm enough for me and the cats, although I do use my oven for cooking much more at this time of the year, as it adds to the heat input in the house.

I hope that your op goes well.  It's no excuse for not posting here though.  When I was in hospital on a Friday, and the late (and much missed) Mamyalynne took over running the thread that week, I still joined in from my hospital bed!

All the best to you, hubby and feline friends for the coming week!

Thanks chico. I will see if I can get AB on my phone, not taking my tablet in with me. 

oh dear... hangs head in shame, I even got the Messi one wrong

Main: 3/7
Jnr: 3/5

Question Author

Still better than me though, Arky!

So it seems, I head straight for the Quizzes (links) before reading other scores even yours. 🤩 

Not good, Chris. 4/7 and 2/5. Progress is slow!

Better than me, 10CS!
