Thank you @Cleoriff @TheresaV and @MI5

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done each of you on your awards.

@jonsie `s answer "Elle`s Bells" to the name of Elle`s dog did make me laugh too.

I hope all of you, and all our regular quizzers, like the categories for Monday`s WRQ. I`ll be searching and checking out the questions for the categories over the weekend and will try and find a mix of easier and not-so-easy questions.
