Well done DM - I'd forgotten about the Dutch!!!

Sorry to hear you're not around next week CM. Our little group is dwindling again.

Perhaps we should take a short holiday - what do you think Eileen????

Thanks for a brilliant quiz CM.

Yes, I'm OK for next week: hope we can play as you'll be away and Shelley has yoga. We'll see.

Thanks for a very interesting quiz, CM some good Qs and as usual I learned something. I may borrow that lines from songs idea, like it.

Close one, Angie, thanks for playing.

I think that might be a good idea, as we did during the Xmas holidays. I'll go ahead and set questions, if there's just you and me, we can declare a short holiday. OK with you?

Yes, fine. People will be going away I expect for their summer hols shortly .........................

Over the course of the day they follow the sun from east to west, while at night they return to an eastward orientation. This motion is performed by motor cells in the pulvinus, a flexible segment of the stem just below the bud. As the bud stage ends, the stem stiffens and the blooming stage is reached.

Actually I did know that. Fun to watch. But not how.
