WELCOME!


Okay, I wont beat about the bush, I am pretty pants at keeping these sort of sites up to date, so please accept my apologies now!

So who am I?

A mum (of 2)

A daughter (of 2)

A worker (of my employers)

A friend (of my friends)

A VW Camper Van Owner (of Georgette)

A sudoku-ist (of sudoku.com.au)

 

Question : What do you call a group of sudoku players?

you know, like "a gaggle of geese" a "a pride of lions"

I want to know your answers - made up, or maybe you really know?

Maybe we could even get an entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.....

 

Do you know what, I was leaning towards a Number of Sudokuists, but A "Grid" of sudokuists has a certain ring to it.
Competition Closed


!!WINNER WINNER!! - GRID - !!WINNER WINNER!! 

sorry Gail, no prize other than the fame!
Thank all for taking part!

 

A few years ago now!!!!

Hello Imms

to this GREAT site. I love to take part, but don't have enough time to turn around these days, since I retired, last June!! Thank you also for your post on my page. We arrived back in the Ardeche, yesterday evening after spending 8 days with friends in a)Corsham and b)Pensford. We used to live in Radstock, just South of Bath. I don't know Yeovil very well, but went to Yeovilton Aircraft Museum quite often when my two were young. Look forward to hearing from you again.

Hello Imms, and welcome (belated) to your own special page! I have a tradition of leaving a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry from Ottawa as a page warming gift, so I hope you like sweets! Enjoy! In terms of your question, we on this site call a group of Sudoku players FRIENDS!

In answer to your question above could it be 'a number of sudoku players'? or, perhaps 'a skittle of sudoku players' (as in 9 pins)?

Hi Imms - I measured my Mountain Dulcimer and it is 3 feet (1 yard or 36 inches) long. I must appolgize. I don't remember the metric system. We don't use it here and it has been a long time since my children studied it so I have forgotten it. If you are not familiar with the instrument, you lay it on your lap, strum with your right hand and play the frets with the left hand. I tried to take a close picture and I didn't get the full instrument in it. Thanks for asking.

To your page Imms. I'm traveling around trying to reach as many of the new page owners as possible before my page warming gift of jambalaya is gone. I have made plenty, I'm glad of that, so I'll just place this in your frezer until you are ready to use it. Hope you enjoy. BTW, I love your avatar. Thanks for the music and van tour of the country side. It was fun. Peace!

On Being a Domestic Goddess

I've washed the dishes, dried the dishes,
Put them all away.
I've tidied up and hoovered,
And kept the dust at bay.
My laundry's done, the ironing too,
With strength that I could muster,
The teatowels, sheets and pillow slips,
I even ironed the duster.
The toilet gleams, the sink as well,
The bath is shiny white;
The bath mat neatened nice and straight
Until it looks just right.
The stairs are clean, there's not a mark
Upon the wooden treads,
I dusted all the corners
When I went and changed the beds.
There's a line of flapping washing
Hanging smartly on the line,
The dog's walked, cat fed, chickens too,
And it's only half past nine.
There's a tray of fresh-baked fairy cakes,
And seven loaves of bread,
Fourteen jars of home made jam,
To keep them all well-fed.
A pot of boiling home-made soup
That bubbles on the Aga,
I don't see why domestic bliss
Should always be a saga.
All my hems are taken up and
All my socks are mended,
All my buttons sewn on tight,
Any less and I'm offended.
Half past three, a cup of tea,
And dinner's on the go.
Potatoes, carrots, peas and kale -
I grow my own, you know.
Family back by half past five,
And happy smiling faces,
Sitting round the table,
In all their rightful places.
Dinner done, more dishes washed,
It's really never ending.
I sit down in my comfy chair
And finish off the mending.
I knit and sew and cook and bake,
I don't have time for telly;
You'll find me in the kitchen
Making wine and apple jelly.
And later on, a nice hot bath
To ease my aches and pains,
I'll get up in the morning, smile,
And do it all again.
I'm dedicated, strong and calm,
While under such duress,
I'm organised and punctual,
I've never heard of stress.
For I am woman, brave and staunch,
And never could be less;
I live my life for hearth and home -
A true Domestic Goddess.
Ofcourse it's me, as you well know!
But you'll be glad to find
That this Domestic Goddess
Exists purely in my mind!

Glad you like Mika. He has an amazing voice.
I love your YouTube of the VW van, and the Jack Johnson song is just perfect with it. Thanks for the carrot cake. I have left you a bottle of Brown Brothers Spatlese Lexia to enjoy... will go perfectly with the carrot cake.

Hope you like my new You Tube, if you haven't seen this version of the video, check out for Joss Ackland bouncing up and down in the back seat about 1/3 of the way through. Always makes me smile.
This video is taken from the PSB film, 'It Shouldn't Happen Here', took me at least 3 watchings to get any understanding of it whatsoever - but very entertaining film.
Enjoy..

hello IMMS,

do you mind if i share my sadness with you.
ofcourse everyone like to share happy things with friends.
but here on the sudoku page you're the one i would like to reveal my sorrow.
as i've told u i've been to Yeovil last 10 yrs ago, there to visit my brother and his family.
Last week it was a sad news to hear that my brother had passed away.
The funeral was on the 24th which we cannot attend so we pray for him here as our buddhist way.
He was a retired orthopaedic surgeon from Yeovil General Hospital.
The last time the family gathering was in Oct. 2006.
sorry imms to say sad news to you.
i was dreaming of visiting Yeovil again, but now it will only be a dream.
