*pops head around door*

Is anyone home :-D :-D

Afternoon all.

Von, pleased you enjoyed yourself. If I were young I’d ask what too much partying is but as you know only too well ….. <3 :-D

With cousins and friends on our table making up a team we used to go to a dinner dance which also included a Xmas quiz and one year we were pipped at the post by some young people who were cheating like that, Maddie. Grrrr

On another occasion, OH and I joined up with a Lancs couple on holiday about twenty years ago to do a general quiz. It got to a stand-off where, from our group, I was elected to compete with a woman from another group. We won and the bottle of champagne went down nicely. :-D

My claim to fame is that I won a lunch-time telly quiz when our work union group visited TV studios. I was the youngest and, as the quiz was about pop music, I was pushed forward when our group was asked to provide a contestant. I won … but none of us was quick enough on the last question so someone mimed the answer in front of us (out of camera shot) and I answered first. Great pressie - lots of record tokens which all in our group (much older than me) insisted I keep. I bought my first Beatles LP and lots of other records. :-D

Gawd, that’s taken me back almost sixty or so years but such a happy memory. :-D

Afternoon all :-D <3

Bright and sunny :-D :-D

Recovering from too much partying last night. Enjoyable evening with good company ;-) ;-)

Ann where’s my photo :-(

Afternoon Fly and Gwyn :-D <3 :-D <3

I do like a quiz too. We watch Only Connect, which is off the wall to say the least.

We went on holiday a few years ago, and decided to enter a Pub Quiz. We were on our own, and another team, local, had 6 members.

As the Quiz progressed, we could see one member holding his phone under the table, obviously googling the answers! :-|

Needless to say, this team won every week.

One word, CHEATING. :-| :-|

Sorry to hear you had a cold, Gwyn, but good that you’ve got rid of it.

We, as a family (apart from OH) like quizzes, Gwyn. Some of us (though not me) are particularly competitive and sometimes it gets really lively. :-0 :-D

Exciting ?
Can't say that much in the way of that happens around here lately, but I'm quite content with my lot though.
Went to a quiz with elder daughter yesterday evening. Hard enough questions to make us think, but not so difficult that we couldn't answer many.
Gives the brain cells a workout !
Pleasant company, so I felt back in touch with the world again, after being in most of the week getting rid of my cold.

Afternoon Maddie, Fly and Gwyn. <3 :-D

How are things going for everyone? Has anyone been up to anything interesting or exciting? :-D

Morning Everyone :-)

Unusual for Fly to have sun, while we have rain in the south.

Been for Covid jab today. Yesterday's flu one seems OK too :-D

Morning Belle :-D <3 Joy :-D <3 <3 Maddie :-D <3

Morning Belle and Joy :-D <3 :-D <3

Pretty sunless here too. Been a busy bee this morning, so giving myself a breather with the papers before I start on din-dins. :-D :-D

Morning Belle. <3 :-D

Morning everyone. <3 :-D

Sun is out here but there’s no strength to it.

Had my head down this week - trying to finish bestie’s family tree and, hey ho, she and my OH share 5th great-grandparents. <3 <3
