....ladies of Spain........

A present from spannygranny...hebs mum.......Spanish shortbread....and delicious they are too! Thank you very much.

Dentist appointment tomorrow to sort out the tooth that Charlotte butted.....the Boss doesn't want me to have it taken out...but I'm not sure if it's salvageable.

Quiz night tonight, but only a practice game as we had no fixture this week. Good job too, the questions were way off again....not balanced at all...bet Phil (League Secretary) gets some complaints again.

Here's a few for you to try:
1. By what more common name is a shooting brake known?
2. Which county contains a river called Wear and a town called Consett?
3. Which English King was known as Longshanks?
4. Which castle is the home of the Duke of Northumberland?
5. Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" takes its title from a work by which other writer?
6. The play "The Mousetrap" by Agatha Christie takes its title from which work by Shakespeare?
7. Who's frozen body was discovered in 1999 almost 70 years after he disappeared?
ONE FOR LADY LALA! 8. Where was the Mojito invented?
9. Which people invented the word "Yankees"?
10.Which item of clothing takes its name from a military supply port on the Black Sea?

I think I'll just have a coffee and another shortbread and then off to the Land of Nod.
