....left the door ajar.....

Not talking about work today...but I needed my smooth handled brush again!

Quiz night tonight...penultimate game of the season...and the door is ajar for us to finish as runners-up. If we hadn't had such a crap start to the season....3 draws and four losses from the first 10 games we'd be in with a crack at the title....since Christmas we've beaten all five teams that were above us and we are now third...so maybe...just maybe. I still won't be happy though....I don't do runners-up!!!!!!

Round 2 won 4-5 Individual questions...mine was on Salads!!!!
