Start All Over Again...

I finally got to the end of the 8s yesterday. Hurrah! 40161 of them. I skipped through quite a lot near the end - not too concerned about adding them to the cardbox if they required a blank to ever actually be played.

I must say that the back end is stacked with Jewish and what I would guess are Afrikaans tongue twisters.

Back to the beginning again now. Scary how I am struggling with these - I am getting them but some are taking a lot longer than I would like.

Study plan now consists of
1) Clear cardbox
2) 500 7s
3) Clear cardbox
4) 500 8s
5) Clear cardbox
6) Do a 'set' of words - this can be anything. 4s, 5s, a particular suffix...
7) Clear cardbox

How long I will keep this up I don't know.

I have my BEST quarter final against Wale Fashina fixed for next Tuesday/Wednesday.

The garden has been largely ignored lately - but I don't feel too guilty as the weather has been pretty awful on the whole.

But I can knit socks while I am studying...


Which is just as well, as I seem to have accumulated quite a lot of sock yarns in a fairly short time...

About Me

I am married to Paul. We left behind the rat-race in October 2005 and moved up to the Scottish Borders. Our house is located in a very beautiful rural area overlooking the river Whiteadder. Since giving up work I have adopted two retired rescue greyhounds, Poncho and Jen, who are adorable. I am a 'serious' scrabble player, and have represented England in 4 world championships. I am now eligible to play for Scotland. I am one of the top rated players in the UK and am back to being the top rated female player in the world. That is how serious about it I am :)
