Haha

We don't want to act too keen.

I know! The photo search made me feel jealous!

So my library copy of this has just come in -is it worth it, or should I return unread?


We have a fair number of buzzards round us which are another smaller bird of prey.

Remember seeing a lot of turkey vultures in Peru. They seemed to be everywhere. Though the most impressive carrion eaters I saw there were the Andean Condors - a 3m plus wing span makes for an impressive bird to watch.

I know how things can get twisted!

Btw by soon I don't mean this evening.

No they haven't. Should be up soon at which point I'm sure that people will notice immediately and post here.

The newsletter was sent round on 1st April and should be in your messages folder as normal.


This is lifted directly from the newsletter:

Here in NBRC, we have been busy preparing the arena for the next team challenge. The games will begin on 15th May and the sign up link will be posted in the our next team challenge is thread for mid-April.

Incredible news! So glad to hear that and hope she is recovering well.

3 days to wait to finish anything isn't going to work!

Looks like a good mix of tasks though

It's the one advantage of the list being badly curated some times.

Yay for Hot Prof's eventual arrival!

My spin seems to have been listening to the Next Challenge thread.

And I've just been shown that we can change passwords - sorry for the delay. If you want to change it for one of your standard ones, send me a private message and I can do that.

From the FAQ

I did my first task wrong.

No worries, just read a book that works for the task and the direction you want to go and carry on from there.


AKA read something that does work for the task, then move on. No need to delete anything.

I'm sorry, we don't keep a record of the passwords. If you forget your password you'll need to make a new account and a new maze. (One of the slight hiccups of this being not a professionally run website).

My current audio can cover feast and royalty but will take a week to finish so if other people want to jump in they can.

The Hounds have returned to Baskervilles.

The Harpies are singing instead

100 to 125
features a feast or banquet
contains a chase (car chase, foot chase, etc)
character is royalty
features a thief

Men in kilts would probably be considered a winning combination by some.

There's a field of highland cows close to us and I still get v excited every time I drive past.

You can use it for both - that's clever book choices.
