.......New Christmas decorations........

Felt decidedly ill all day today.....probably a knock on/side effect of all the Co-codamol I took last week to get me through the visit of the Russians.

Went to the quiz tonight........didn't have a drink.....ate three tiny sandwiches for supper..........we won 43-29.......beat the team second in the League...leap frogged them and the League leaders, who were on their rest week............so we're top!

Hard questions this week.....here's a few to try.

1. Which french word is used for the clothes and linen collected by a bride before her wedding ?
2. The Kariba Dam is on which river?
3. Who, in 1775, said, "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"?
4. Which US surface to air missile was used to protect Israel from Iraqi missiles in 2003?
5. Which Soviet built missile was used by the Iraqi forces during the Gulf War?
