Goodnight

[Bunnylump]

I'm off to pack now - away for the weekend to visit my now bearded and beer-bellied teenage son in Cornwall. Catch you all next week.

[LAT]

Enjoy the surf!

[Bunnylump]

Didn't get as far as the surf (bit cold) but did succeed in stepping in a rock pool with my shoes on.

[giraffe]

You're as bad as Fernando! He was up to his knees in a bog on Saturday night!

[Bunnylump]

Urgh. I think it runs in the family. Remember I posted that video of my daughter?http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uuPaURWTsM0

[MBH]

LOL I'm guessing she is NOT the puzzle-solving member of the family

Who was that 'encouraging' her by putting the boot in at the end?

[kathlyn]

i take it the camera operator was laughing so much he/she couldn't hold the camera still

[SparkOut]

Stupid o'clock again. Goodnight!

[Bunnylump]

Well, to be fair, I think I would have been exactly the same. Cruel Mummy that I am.

LOL I'm guessing she is NOT the puzzle-solving member of the family

No! She thinks I'm mental doing puzzles, although I did convince her to have a go at that medieval one to take her mind off a doctor's appointment she was dreading! And yes, her laugh really is that bad...(bit like her mother's).

Since this thread has turned into the general 'movement' information as well as Goodnight, I'm glad to say that I'm safely back from the Big City Even managed to get myself a quite hour with the cute & cuddly dinosaurs in the Natural History Meuseum.

My thanks go to all my 'puzzle' friends who I've found have kept my brain alive - I had my traditional pre-Christmas trip into Hamley and beat their resident expert at Bananagrams

I may not match the rest of you in many puzzling ways, but against an 'average Joe' I've still got it.

Sorry.... some of you don't know Bananagrams? It's uses Scrabble-like letter tiles but rather than taking turns, you take 21 tiles each and make up your own grid of words as quickly as possilbe. If you get stuck and need to get rid of a letter, you throw it in but take 3 more to replace it. The short game we played worked on the basis of "First one with no letters left wins"

I formed a complete grid of proper words using every one of my original 21 letters..... WINNER

We then played a longer game where when you get rid of your last letter EVERYONE takes another letter from the pack - keep playing till all letters are used. I'm not sure about their ruling on this, as I kept emptying my hand and making others take extra letters - but my grid was twice the size of the other players

This guy has an interesting job - standing in a shop playing games with the customers - but I think as puzzlers it is everybodies duty to go into Hamleys and BEAT HIM

Now I know I'm in the right place after reading this thread - it's like old times! a long endless thread about - saying goodnight!


Goodnight!

[Bunnylump]

That's the fun of it all. Rabbiting away about anything and everything, and continuously deviating from the thread topic just to annoy Scurra!

[Bunnylump]

I'm off to my bed now folks, won't be on tomorrow due to staff Christmas party in... wait for it... new RED shoes! (And no, whoever said "red shoes, no knickers" is definitely lying!)

[pebbles]

Goodnight bunny!

[gill216]

Good night Bunny. Have they made you dress up as Mrs Claus?

[SparkOut]

Must be really big shoes if you're going to hold a party in them.

[Bunnylump]

It probably would have been more sensible than me putting my feet in them. OOh ouch, the blisters...mind you, serves me right for buying new high heeled shoes and then wearing them for the first time and dancing* for 4 hours!

*Explanatory note for bro - when I say "dancing", what I mean is randomly cavorting about a dance floor and trying not to crash into people!

[Scurra]

Isn't that the dictionary definition then?

[LAT]

So was it a good party?

[Bunnylump]

Yes, good party, thanks, but HIDEOUSLY awful to have to go into work this morning and not growl at pupils!!

Isn't that the dictionary definition then?

Mind you, it does help that I was quite a scary sight - in my heels I must have been a full 6 feet tall, so people tended to get out of the way to avoid injury!
