Let's get quizzical, quizzical...

Monday night is pub quiz night most weeks. We have a nice team of five now who cover most bases quite nicely, apart from Football, and we all hate that and know nothing about it. The last 3 weeks has seen us 2 team members down, as Kev has been rehearsing for the Christmas Mummers Play. Last night we welcomed back Kev and Sheila and benefitted from their input hugely. Kev is our music genius and we went from a struggling 6 - 8 points without him to a magnificent 18/20 last night. We managed second place in the main quiz with a low score of 31/40 when the winners got 35. Lots seemed to struggle last night. At least pub was lovely and warm :) I had my favourite dish  for dinner prior to the quiz - lamb shank, with cabbage, carrots, green beans and mash with mint gravy - mmmmmmmmmm. James and Jenny had Angus burgers which looked lovely.
Hmm talking food just before lunch time is bad. I now feel very hungry! I am going to wack on some pasta and heat up a portion of my home made bolognese sauce for lunch. Onion and garlic rich, it should help boost my immune system. Might not make me too popular with friends tho LOL
The fish are looking fine. I hope they stay that way.
I have discovered one problem with phones now I have moved my PC base from the dining room to the living room. I had the phone next to the PC for convenience, plus and extension in the living room. Now I have the PC in the living room but it's tucked behind the sofa and I can't get to the phone quick enough before the answering machine picks up the call.
(5 mins later) Having just almost fallen over myself attempting to answer the phone for the third time this morning,  I have now moved the extension from the dining room into the living room by the PC! So we have 2 phones in the living room at opposite ends :) and I can answer the phone quickly now YAYY result!
I love digital phone systems as I have phones all round the house, almost.

Weather update : It did turn to snow - for about 5 mins - and now has stopped doing anything. However a lovely bit of snow laden cloud is moving in so I live in hopes.
This was last winter's dusting. I am hoping for more this time round. :)
Watch this space!
