Sophie’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

We'd get more points for using it in the spell out so I'd use it there by preference Denise.

Claire - we still need a Z in the spell out. If it's something you want to read then go for it. If you'd prefer to read something longer then that would be helpful too.

Notifications decided to turn themselves off for me which was not v helpful.

I can look at it once I get through My Friends

Good work!

Will have a search for a moose when I'm a bit further through My Friends which I'm finding hard going right now.

Oh Mel! Tonsillitis in a heat wave sounds utterly miserable. Hope the antibiotics have kicked in for you.

I'm increasingly learning that off and on again works for most things with IT. Shame people aren't as straightforward. Although sleep and food does solve a lot of the issues.

Chipmunks!

I completed my Fantasy maze without skipping! (tough at times, but hey, it's meant to be a challenge, right?)

I'm thinking mystery next..."

Well done! That's good will power not to skip some of the more impossible bits.

Oh ouch! Fingers crossed that all feels a lot better soon.

A cheese I've actually heard of before! Yay! 😅"

It was my turn to throw and it's one of my favourites!

oops, forgot the golden rule

"Don't poke the chipmunks!""

The captains' group is full of chipmunk food unfortunately.

not sure why, but I thought mini 2 would just keep going and going...
maybe the mods will be inspired ..."

The mods occasionally want a challenge to be not too much effort to run and not too complicated for players. Unfortunately while we start with the best intentions, comments like this often bring out the worst in us. The plan for this one is that the minis released at the start are what we have, but our worst chipmunk instincts sometimes take over.

Aww that sounds like an excellent way to spend an hour and the best possible outcome for any car issue.

Definitely a cow there

New task for mini 2

Read a book with a door or gate on the cover

This leaves us with 3 more tasks to uncover for that mini and then it is complete!

What was the Sri Lanka book? Might be one I can pick up in a couple of days when I finish my current read (that doesn't work for any of the open tasks)

If I could rest in the Shire, I'd be a happy hobbit.

Ooof that's far too hot. I've been struggling with 28C, but AC is not a common thing.

Been at my sister, brother in law and nephew's birthday party today (all born on the same day). Enjoyed partying in the sun but now home to quiet.

I've been working at home today so music choices have been all over the place and I can dance to my hearts content at the standing desk.

It's been so hot I haven't wanted to move though.

Good progress through Steven! Welcome back

Barbequed cheese is awesome. I want it!
