Good views this morning at the bottom of the hill...


This afternoon, a gathering, with prizes for quizzes organised by your correspondent...


...involving some measure of teamwork...




Firstly, bingo, with round the table picking out of names of artists being featured on the playlist soundtracking proceedings - Creme Eggs up for grabs...

Then, with the playlist being one hit single from each year between 1959 and 2018, the teams had ten minutes for each of the three double decades to match artists with songs, or artists with years, or songs with years, all for one point or all three for five points...

Oh how they complained about but, eventually, enjoyed the test...

Prog Rock Willie's team emerged victorious...



Double D's didn't...


The G Man's didn't...


Young Robbie's didn't...


Matty's didn't - not that he seems too bothered...


Eddie's didn't...


Lodger's didn't...


Bernardo captained the winners...


Wenders, also a winner, looked forward to the bubbly with an aperitif of vodka...


CK took her loss in good spirits...


...while you would't have thought that Gaz too, was a winner...


The quizmaster...


...was collected around 9 by his Exec Producer and whisked home in time for a much improved "Still Game"...

Today's artwork, "Early Morning Roof Under a Sky of Blue"...


Highlight of the Day : Being the quizmaster...
