YES! Broke my Enigma losing streak. I got #1126 (Enigmatic dice) right – although I did solve it using a computer program.

Spanish Grand Prix this weekend. ITV coverage is Sat 11.30-13.15 for qualifying, and 12.10 – 15.15 on Sunday for the race itself.

My sister and her husband are also coming to stay this weekend, which is grand, Grommit.

NO WAY – four Enigmas wrong on the trot! (found my mistake in one of the ones I got wrong tho). Not very confident about this weeks either (1131)
Gonna stick my neck out – I’m sure I’ve got 1126, 1127, and 1130 right. I’m fairly confident about 1128 and 1129. Let’s see… <g>

Got another enigma wrong – that’s two weeks running now! My comment for that one was very easy enigma – 15 mins on the train.
This weeks seemed to be fairly straighforward, but I’ve lost my confidence now!!!

Also had an IC Radio meetup on Saturday, which was great – ’twas good to see everyone again.

Got an enigma wrong (1122: Chapter and verse) 🙁 Lost my working too, so I can’t trace my mistake. Ah well. This week’s was a bit tedious (did it with the aid of a calculator).

On the plus side, I’ve jigged around these pages a bit though, and registered an internet domain (eutony.net) 🙂
