Bingo

Posts from four of Prediction’s most loyal regulars this week make it a full house in my book, and the customary  inventiveness and high quality writing certainly merits a shout of ‘House!’ along with my thanks for your participation. Fingers crossed the words for next week – groin owl whistle – will similarly whet your writing appetites.

Finger-crossing good

Thanks to crossed fingers or extra January energy, this was a week of rich and inspirational pickings for which I thank you all equally, while awarding Rebecca a ‘welcome-back’ prize - hope you are able to re-join the regulars.

Normal service not quite yet

 It's been a tricky week with technology. culminating with the collection of a fully  set-up new laptop which was the wrong model, so I've resurrected my Chrome book (my clogged old laptop also having died on me) and sincerely hope normal service will be restored shortly, at least for a little while (I'm off to the Netherlands on the 23rd, for a week) Thank you for all the entertaining posts last week.
