Shall we?

Why, why, why? Y--Yeroskipou, Greece Since ThoS skipped Y so that he could finish with a Z, I wonder to whom the honor of next topic belongs? Why ask why? It was just a brain cloud. At least I didn't spew forth word salad... Humperdink!

D - Dill
(It looks as if a lot of these will be plants with chlorophyll. We should give bonus points when someone comes up with something that's not a plant — like "beer — on St. Patrick's Day.")

"L", slb, "L". Where are you?
Boston Legal is worth a look. James Spader and William Shatner are outstanding, and the writing is really good. Caroline, our tour manager, happened across it a few weeks ago and is now hooked - she's renting the first two seasons to catch up.

W - Wellington boots - commonly known as "wellies" - are mostly made in green rubber. All over the UK, village and town fetes hold the "Wellie Throwing COmpetition". Yes, it's daft. The winner is the person who throws a wellie furthest! In addition, I spotted this place on my tour of Scotland last year. www.thegreenwellystop.co.uk/
