tuesday trivia
sorry for not being able to keep the quiz at one particular day, but at least it's once a week!!

That's our host, Naomi, in the background.
For a few years our trivia team has just been my wife and myself (with a few guest appearances from our daughter). We've mostly done OK, but when you're up against teams of six to eight people you find that you have knowledge gaps that the other teams have covered. But recently we've had some friends who've started joining us on a regular basis, and they've been able to fill those gaps. And that means that in the past five weeks we've managed two first and one second place. We're on fire at the moment.
After a whole day's wargaming (I was victorious) in the evening I went out to some trivia. We came last.
