Easy Sudoku for 4/June/2018

I COULD EASILY START A FOURTH PAGE. Sorry about all those caps, but I'm too lazy to retype them. Perhaps I could issue a challenge to get to page 4. I shall depart, but I will return.

Hm, Wombat, you are on page 4!!!

We have plenty of time to get to the end of this page. Does anyone on the site know what the posting 'record' is?

So many comments. Its a bit like a disciplined chat room where everybody can have their say.

How lucky you are Sarah to have written personal records of so long ago. I think its wonderful that you will donate them to a museum so that future generations will have an historical record.

Talking of records I had a phone call the other day from someone who said they had my father's military medals. I didn't know they existed and Dad steadfastly refuses to talk about his involvement in WWII so this is going to be something for the family archives . I do have his Pay Book and Service Record book which records his 'altered' date of birth so that he could enlist

Arachnid, check back in the archives because it was nothing years ago to fill a lot more pages than this.

Well, I'm off now for lunch and yard duties

It is my youngest grandsons 10th birthday today. They grow up so damn quickly.
Bailey Boy!!!

Hi Anne hope you are well. Hal and Barbara , congratulations. Have missed this site one of the oldies who have been MIA must get back into it.

Hello Marg, lovely to see you on here commenting.
Hope all is going well with you and hubby.

Arachnid the record number of posts is 2222 and a few more.

I couldn't say when it was though - some years back.

Someone wanted to see how far we could get, I think it might have been Andre. Everyone else hopped on board and away it went.

There was a lot of rubbish generated that day.

Another Western Australian comes back to join in. I don't know if I've been a member long enough to welcome you back, but I will do it in any case.

Hi everyone! Just adding one more to the tally!

My printer tells me it needs more black ink so I had to resort to pen and paper to do Wombats poozle.

Peter you have that right , I think it was either 2007 or 08. CynB and myself spent most of the day typing rubbish to get the numbers up. LOL

Well the first of the 3&4 puzzle was quite successful with ten people posting successfully posting responses. The extra traffic on the site didn't reduce the interest in the poozle.
The ten were Sarah, Joyce, Peter, Judy, Arachnid, Kathy, Snowbird, CynB, Plum and Amelia. Here are the answers.
Kraal - TYPICAL AFRICAN VILLAGE

Rubber - ERASER
Baccarat - CARD GAME
Fiddle - VIOLIN
Breeze - GENTLE WIND
Guffaw - LAUGH
Bigger - LARGER
Hohhot - SITE OF TOMB OF ZHAOJUN
Shiites - MEMBERS OF A BRANCH OF ISLAM
Hajji - HAVING COMPLETED A PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA
Fokker - FORMER DUTCH PLANE MANUFACTURER
Ballet - FORM OF DANCE
Simmer - COOK AT CLOSE TO BOILING
Fennel - PLANT THAT SMELLS STRONGLY OF ANISEED
Crooked - BENT
Pepper - CONDIMENT
Barrier - IMPEDIMENT
Cursed - SWORE
Nettle - PRICKLY PLANT
Equus - GENUS OF ANIMAL
Navvies - LABOURERS
Bowwow - DOGGIE NOISE
Sayyida - MUSLIM PIRATE QUEEN
Buzzard - BIRD

There were too many people in that last post. Add that to my getting the page wrong and it is time to claim dementia.

I find Wombat's puzzles are easily done on the computer by first copying&pasting into a document. Then, you can delete© the needed letters to make the words. Any words you did not know right away will be formed from the remaining letters, making them easier to guess. Then, your document gets copied&pasted to send to Wombat. No actual typing or writing is required.

The record was 2288 posts in 2010 on June 11th.
I only know that because I remember it was my wedding anniversary. I just had to check which year. I started at 2011 and only had to go back one year.
That was an exhausting day for Amelia and I. We told every lame joke we ever heard.

In the old days when we reached multiple pages every day, it was often because Karen detailed her family's every activity one sentence at a time. She managed to make the report of their daily life interesting and amusing.

The first of the severe lows has rolled in ceasing my outdoor work. Perhaps, in due course, with returning members and new members now participating we should attempt another site record?

I've received another response to the 3&4 poozle. It is from my daughter and her colleagues at the ANL. That is 11 and the best we've had for a while.

I remember that day, and the discussion around my not having a picture for 2222, if I was lucky enough to be the one to claim it ... I wasn't, but I'm ready for , and but never thought I'd need 2222.

Boy, isn't that the truth, when Karen got on a roll ...

Karen just does it on FB these days.

Thank you Sarah, never thought of that. Though I normally print them out and watch TV while doing both Wombats and Arachnids poozles.

I'm back on Flightradar.
This morning I was watching them fly from Brisbane to Sydney.
Now they've not long left Sydney bound for Honolulu.
I won't be watching all night - just when i think of it until I go to bed.

Get a smilie or Avatar ready Keith just in case You could be optimistic and also get 22222 just in case

Ton and a half

Wow I leave the site for the night and you are nearly on page 5

I won't push on to page 5, but I will contribute some thoughts to make it reasonably easy for someone else to do.

Can anyone remember what the word that Karen proscribed? To the best of my memory it was stove or kitchen or maybe cooking. A lady of very definite opinions.

NSW is preparing to flog the maroons.

Well that is the hope at least

Fresh new blood on both teams this year.

Well that's it. There is a lamb roast for dinner and baked potatoes, I can't let that get cold. Cheers.

Another beautiful sunny day in the North

good to be upright and warm.

I think Karen called it the Food Preparation Room or something similar
