I've managed to fit this round in between my childcare duties.
We've still got Dylan - until tomorrow - even though Tanya is out of
hospital and recovering well from her hip operation.
It looked to start with as though the votes were going to be evenly
spread and that there would be few correct guesses. However, the
later votes changed all that - a clear winner emerged and 5 of you
guessed that SINGULTOUS was connected with hiccoughs.
The winner of the next deal is Johnny Barrs with 7 unnatural points
for his closed-mouth heraldic beast. Four players tied for coveted
second place; Tony Abell, Russ Heimerson, Roberta Muths, and Guerri
Stevens all had unnatural 4s.
Thanks to you all for playing. Take it away, Johnny!
