Hmmm, how I haven't missed the "close the curtains before the end of the working day because it's gone dark" part of the year.

Very grey and gloomy out there today (south UK).

Due to yesterday's football, Quizzy Monday is on TODAY (NOW!).

Only Connect begins on BBC2 in 10 minutes, if you tried to watch it yesterday and couldn't find it.

Sadly there was no #OnlyConnect this evening due to silly sport reasons.

So, here’s something to look forward to - questions next week include the following things:

First
Engagement
Captain
Passion
Henry
Passage
£1
Chimney
Derbyshire

Isn’t that exciting?!

BONUS FUN FACT:

This is what I get if I google "alphabetti spaghetti". Check out those images.
A search result for "alphabetti spaghetti" - in two of them the pasta spells out "fuck" and "fuck off". Very child friendly (and I apologise for repeating it. It's the pasta's fault.)

FUN FACT:

Spaghetti hoops are not, in fact, spaghetti hoops.
They're actually an extremely limited Alphabetti Spaghetti set, marketed very well.

You wish! If they had, you know it would be an esoteric value like 73p, and certainly not as much as a whole pound, this is the BBC, good man!

Apparently not - there is some footing of the ball getting in the way. I can’t remember the last time Quizzy Monday got shunted away like this!

Just somehow tripped on the slipper that was also on my foot on the way to the kitchen. 🤦‍♂️

Happy Monday, everyone!
