So glad to hear everything's fixed now @Mi-Amigo 

And I'm sorry I didn't send you my answers, I'm disappointed with myself to be honest because I took note of them and forgot to send. I'd have gotten only two of them right though 🤣

Just to prove myself, here are the answers I wrote down:

Q1 

Q2 Jupiter and Saturn

Q3 Eyelid

Q4 Four

Q5 Refrigerator

Q6 Apollo 13

Q7 Horned goat

Q8 Chess

Looking forward to the next WRQ and I'll make sure that I'll send you the answers next time 😅

Well done everyone!

[MI5]

Thanks for the quiz @Mi-Amigo and well done to all.

Pleased to hear your heating is fixed too 👍 🔥

[pgn]

Woohoo! Welcome back into the warm, @Mi-Amigo - good to hear your abode is nearing habitable temperature again!

And everyone was rooting for you, it's awful when the house and everything in it starts to cool down, by the time you notice the faint blue tinge under your fingernails, it's hard to get back up to temperature again with no heat source!

Hope the chilling has not had any knock-on effects... Good to have you back!

And thanks @Cleoriff for reporting back, it was as quiet as the grave on here yesterday... Relatively speaking 😆

[Mi-Amigo]

Sorry you missed out on the quiz @RafaC and hope you get the chance to join in with Monday`s WRQ.

Thank you @MI5 . Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award.

Thank yu for your kind words and concern about me and the lack of heating. It`s great I`ve got the heating on and am feeling OK now.

I really appreciate how kind and supportive everyone has been. Means a lot.
