Hello dear Marit and all ,

Your game often brings back to me nice memories of my childhood : thank you , again !
Here we go !

1 ) hug : better in the plural : hugs and kisses by the way !
2 ) a lily : do you like waterlilies ? ( Monet )
3 ) to wade ( very unpleasant in a conversation )
4 ) increase like violence and almost all prices
5 ) a shortcut ( so convenient when you know London or Paris 'by heart '
6 ) to narrate : not to confuse : a narrator and a writer , which many students do .
7 ) anchor : isn't it a brand of tinned pilchards ?!
8 ) sonmoon : ah ! This recalls the impressive film in the mid-fifties : Lana Turner I had forgotten ..
9 ) the bridegroom : have you ever heard this , sung on Mendelsohn's march for the tune ? 'Here comes the bride, big , fat'n wide , here comes the groom as thin as a broom ? ' Have a try and you'll never forget it !
10 ) redundant ; isn't it a little obsolete ( if I may) for laid-off /dismissed/ sacked/ fired ..?

Playing with you was nice as usual ...Don't mind my questions ,dear Marit, but I suppose Canadian English may be as Canadian French ( apart from the very strong accent which is so pleasant but difficult to understand ) with slight differences of vocabulary ? Faire de la trottinette = faire du jogging ?
Get well and take care ! Have a nice time , reading or watching good films , for instance .
