Feels like I'm sinking into a spell of depression. Struggling to find enthusiasm for anything atm. Ready for bed already.
Combination of feeling less than fit, dark nights and crap weather.

After my performance in Connect, I should stick to tiddlywinks.

I am trying to get my head around how we could have a quiz thread -- or it there already one.
I have an idea how it would work, but it would need help from GNHQ to clear the thread occasionally, I have already contacted them.

I am feeling more positive this morning.

And, what's google? Do you mean goggle?

Galen Thu 30-Oct-14 18:58:06

Too difficult for a Luddite like me!
I'll stick to noughts and crosses

Sorry - Only Connect is a panel game that used to be on BBC4 but is now on BBC2, chaired by the brilliant Victoria Coren-Mitchell. One of the rounds is called the connecting wall and you have a wall with 16 items, which can be sorted into connecting groups of 4. If you goggle Only Connect you can play lots of different walls. I knew that pompa liked doing that so thought it might take his mind off his woes to play a few games.

Mishap Thu 30-Oct-14 17:38:58

Mishap Thu 30-Oct-14 17:34:51

Mishap Thu 30-Oct-14 17:34:25

Keep going Pompa Hope you feel better soon.

Mishap Thu 30-Oct-14 17:09:54

That's great pompa - 449 it is. I will log on and do it and let you know my score. Then you can let me know yours. Then it will be my turn to choose the next wall if that is OK by you. Bonne chance!!

Eloethan Thu 30-Oct-14 16:11:54

It sounds like your feeling a bit better pompa - I hope so.

pompa Thu 30-Oct-14 15:58:03

Mishap
Ok I've chosen a wall, 449, assume I mustn't look at until we start.

pompa Thu 30-Oct-14 15:55:20

Gill LOL, you could be right about day time TV.

Been out today, took my model boats down to our local boating lake, not enough wind for my yacht, but the power boats went well. Very pleasant bit of sun and plenty of sea air. Surprised that there weren't more children there, a few crabbing (the boating lake is full of them as it is re-filled at high tide)
Also managed a few jobs in the garden with Mrs P's help.

Mishap, how does playing against each other on "only Connect" work. sounds good.

Swimming, Mrs. P was dreading that I might have tried some involuntary swimming in the boating lake.

Mishap Thu 30-Oct-14 14:33:37

Can I challenge you to an Only Connect duel pompa? Pick a wall from the website, let me know the number and we can both (and any others who fancy it) do it. Best of 3 maybe?

TriciaF Thu 30-Oct-14 14:30:07

Hoping that this low mood doesn't last too long, as you say insomnia doesn't help.
Any chance you could go swimming? I find that a good exercise and it lifts the spirits too.
