13, I beg for a clue on the naked man please, just so I can move on, he is most unsettling at this time of the day.

If you remove the number one, and the bow, you are left with...

[Paul]

5!! not getting anywhere with this.

[Elizabeth]

If it helps, I know the man one. Without clothes, you are n----. The meal at midday is -----.

And again!

[Jo]

Never heard of it, so I needed major help. Thanks ladies. Quite relieved! I was trying all versions of naked, bare, bear, bared.... Even thought I had it with The Naked chef!

Anna the non-rattle is more about what it is used for, rather than the name of the item itself.

[Elizabeth]

I'm not playing properly - just had a look at the clues and tried to guess a few.

[Anna]

Ah!!!! What the heck is it!!!! I'll have to rethink

Got the chess piece on now

[Anna]

A magnifying glass? Still clueless!!!!!

[Paul]

I'm up to 10. Have got that now, think Sherlock Holmes in pink :-)

[Jo]

Who uses a magnifying glass? Old fashioned.

What is in the glass, it is a what? Say it out loud. The ------ ---.

[Paul]

16. Four left.

[Anna]

Ok got it now!!!!

Just the three soliders now.

[Jo]

In exchange, please can I have a clue on the tank ice cream van? 16 now.

[Anna]

Got them all!!

I'd not heard of the ice cream van one, but managed to get it by putting together the situation a tank is used in, and the item sold in the van.

I checked in books on amazon and discovered there was indeed a book by that name

[Jo]

Hmm... Not quite there on that yet.

I think the capital A must be very obvious, just not coming to me! Not Capital.

[Paul]

Think the of the colour

Off out now will carry on, on my return

[Anna]

As well as the colour it'll help to know it could be a B, or a U, or anything from the alphabet

[Jo]

As soon as I posted I got it! But thanks anyway. 17.....

Just stuck on the blasted van, and the two with hands in.

[Anna]

Concentrate on what the hands are doing, also what one on the is surrounded by.

[Jo]

Hmm.. Having a brain freeze! Fresh eyes in the morning I think.

[Paul]

I am no futher!! Cannot work out the compass, if only it was yellow!

One book left to go on my annual challenge

[Elizabeth]

Paul - I may know the compass one. You might want to ask the author for the name of their dentist?

[Shirley]

INITIALly, you need to know where you are going...

We're thinking of the same one, aren't we?

[Paul]

Have completed my 2013 challenge. Very happy.

Still have three to go on this:

The soldiers
The compass
The V sign

[Anna]

With the soilders, concentate on the centre one and what his action is. I'll be less vaugue if that doesn't help!

Compass as been said you need to initally look at the direction

what does the v symbolise?

[Jo]

I'd forgotten about this! I support what Anna says on all three. "Initially" being the operative word.....

I haven't got the blue hand and the tank van.

[Paul]

Thanks to Elizabeth I have now got the compass. Will PM you Jo :-)

[Sandy]

We have ten inches of snow tonight in the northern US. I live in the country and all of the fields and roads are completely covered. I think it will be a white Christmas.

[Paul]

It sounds lovely Sandy. It very rarely snows over Christmas in the UK, just grey and wet normally.

[Susan]

Couldn't find the right thread, but has everyone picked-up that The Thirteenth Tale is being shown o. 30th December?

[Sandy]

Tonight out shoveling our rather long driveway. It is an almost full moon this evening, and the snow is shimmering on the fields. I have to make a path for the car so I'm not late for work! My kids helped too. Husband was watching football argh.

[Elizabeth]

That snow sounds lovely Sandy, apart from the hard work to clear it!

When we get snow in the UK the country seems to grind to a halt as if it's come as a huge shock :D. Roads close, and trains stop running, schools close etc and everyone has to stay at home.

[Paul]

We now have torrential rain and it is blowing a hoolie out there.

Just like summer last year...

[Elizabeth]

Aargh, tell me about it. We've just got back from Salisbury Hospital visiting my dad about 20 mins ago. Trees down, floods everywhere. Very wild out there.

[Paul]

We went to Salisbury on Monday. Rained all the way there, dry when Christmas shopping and then rained all the way back to the car.

[Elizabeth]

My children went to Salisbury Playhouse today for the pantomime, with the school. Good time by all accounts!

[Paul]

We love This Book are doing a competition now:

[Betty C.]

I just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone in the group, especially those I have been lucky enough to have some personal exchanges with.

I'm afraid my reading and group-following went the way of many other things as the school semester moved on -- other teachers will know what I'm talking about! I have at least continued to read throughout, though, but just at a snail's pace.

I hope to get some reading done over my 12-day vacation.

In the meantime, I'm wishing you all happy holidays!

[Paul]

Seasons Greetings Betty! My wife teaches so I can sympathise

[Sandy]

Happy holidays to you too Betty. I also teach and truly enjoy the time we have off. I work with adults, but have the ultimate respect for teachers who interact with adolescents and children. Enjoy your time off!

[Paul]

Merry Christmas all!

[Gail]

Merry Christmas to you Paul and to all the other mods who keep this such a great group to be part of!

[Elizabeth]

Happy Christmas everyone. Have a great day and I hope Father Christmas brings you all some lovely presents :)

[Jo]

Two minutes to go, MMMMMMEEEEEEEERRRRRRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!!!!
