...I think the answer to 7 isn't so clear cut...it could be one of three (? maybe more) - Excalibur, Caliburn (which may in itself be another name for Excalibur) or just un-named. Myths and legends eh? Never just one version....
That's better, had a cup of tea. Hazel, he amazes me at times what he knows 🤣🤣 I often think....how do you know that.....and why would you need to😉🤣🤣 Its raining here and so very dark, we have the lights on. Have a good day everyone
Good morning. Ante a sunny day here but cool. Chive it’s good you have stocked up. Hazel good news re electrician. Lily I’m just about to have a cup of tea, enjoy. Have a good day.
Good Morning Lily & Rosie, Lily It’s good to have that variety of knowledge, certainly useful for a quiz ⭐️ Rosie Joining you for a brew, managed to book a haircut for this afternoon so I’m looking forward to that, it’s a local business so I can walk there from work. Hope you have a good day.
Been wrestling with a big corner stone out the back. It's way heavier than I can lift but has to come out so I can start my attempt to improve the drainage at the lower end of the back lawn. I've dug it out to the point where I need an assistant to push on a spade to help lever it out above ground level. Won't bother with that today because my back isn't enjoying itself and both potential assistants are 'working from home' today
@steveTu you are so right. I imagine the Quiz Meister who produces these quizzes is probably catering to the Pub Quiz tastes and therefore looking for the standard, expected answers. I do have to 'fess up to not knowing about Caliburn (Caliban leapt into my mind!) but it is my new bit of knowledge for the day so I thank you for that.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Cake has been in the oven for an hour now and it smells delish.
Biglad, just you be careful! I think we are all guilty of thinking we can do all the hauling and lugging and shifting things in our gardens and are quite shocked when our bodies say 'Will you please pack that in! You should know better at your age.'
Chive I hope that you have checked it isn't Edward Scissorhands at work today!

Odd that Caliburn appears to appear in Ex-calibur as well though as if there was some common source to the name (or maybe just a naff scribe transcripting something incorrectly - like what happened with Boudicca) eh? As interesting as the question itself.
If you want some questions at any point let me know - I set up a bit of software to do a quiz over a zoom clone called Jitsi - and we typed in about 2000+ questions from Trivial Pursuits and other such sources that we had floating around. All split down by category. I'm not sure about the questions my dafter contributed though....
We'll probably get back to the weekly quiz if we lock down again! Quizes are grand eh?
Saying that, I may also just rope my old bro's and sis' families into a festive challenge over Christmas - a good way of blowing the cobwebs away on Boxing Day afternoon after a walk to sober up!
@steveTu that is most kind of you. Thank you. I really love quizzes of any description. I know where to come if I run out. I am really missing my Pub Quizzes but am enjoying posting quizzes on here. Also learning things along the way - I seem to have a never ending thirst for new things.

That's the good thing about quizzes - the bits you don't know that pique an interest that leads you off at a tangent into areas where you would never have gone otherwise.
I do yours silently each week - a bit like Popmaster, that others like to 'crow' about (names withheld to protect the guilty) - I keep my results to myself!
