Hurshy, I got to spend some quality time with my Irish relatives last weekend, and it was balm to the soul. Hadn't seen them in person in years

11:52 am

hurshy

nice. sounds very Scarlett O'Hara in the sequel book (not by Margaret Mitchell, but i liked it)

11:53 am

Trifioso

It was particulary fun to see my nephews - schoolboys when I last saw them, they are now tipping back cider, dancing away....well made, lovely young men with absolute Irish humor

11:53 am

hurshy

I know hurshy I am not even sure I KNOW 12 k words. Guess we all will by day's end, though I am sure these wont be the most useful words

11:55 am

hurshy

i have greyed every tile up to the K and then i hit that

11:55 am

Trifioso

well done! My greys are more of a scatter pattern

11:55 am

hurshy

monkeying 4s usually gets one at least a good few of the Ks

11:56 am

Trifioso

truth. If the 9 is a k I am done for

11:56 am

hurshy

i think the odds of that are low

11:56 am

when there is neither e nor s the grid gets so weird
