#Juneathon -Day 26, brain training

Really couldn't be bothered this morning but I had to get to the hospital. I seriously contemplated using the car park this morning but I couldn't justify the parking fee for an hour so I parked in my usual spot on one of the side roads outside of the hospital grounds and had a slow meander through the hospital.

The afternoon was spent at Wacky Warehouse with Squiggle.  He had a brilliant time hiding in the ball pit.

Can you see me?


The night was spent in my usual spot in the pub for the weekly pub quiz. Sadly it was an epic fail this week.  The killer question took its revenge on us and although we did get 4 right answers we scored no points because of the silly scoring system as the first answer on the grid was wrong.

So can you do any better? Remember - no cheating!

Name 10 of the 13 black actors or actresses to have won an academy award.

#Juneathon - Days 18 & 19, exercised my mind!

Had a little rest for the last 2 days, well rested my body anyway, did very little yesterday except wandered around town doing a spot of window shopping.

Today however, I still had my usual saunter around the hospital before my psoriasis treatment in the morning, but tonight was quiz night and the Quizee Rascals were reconvening after a 2 week break away. We always meet up on a Wednesday night for Food and Facts in the local pub and have to say despite us thinking we're all a bit thick, do happen to do quite well, and this week was no exception. The quiz follows 6 sections, the first is a picture round, then there's an odd one out round, specialist subject round, family fortunes round, a blockbuster style round and a killer question round.  After the scores were totted up, the Quizee Rascals were tied for 2nd place, so in went Mr H as the tie breaker champion, and he didn't disappoint again.

Second place winnings are £15, so we've made an executive decision to blow the lot on this weeks' lottery and have a syndicate for the Euromillions on Friday - you never know!

So just for fun tonight's tie breaker question was how long is the Limpopo River?  ( no cheating and sorry no prizes, but go on just have a guess ! )
