Oh boy Pete, I thought it would be next Saturday you'd do the quiz; but here goes.

1. a) blowing in the wind (of course!)

b) Windmills of your mind

c) Summer wind?

2. Granada (Spanish for pomegranate)

3. Dracula

4. Miami F.L.A.

9. Was it "Savvy?" or "Remember this is the day you almost caught Jack Sparrow".?

Sorry, don't know the rest except one of number 8 was Jennifer Rush. Anyone else got a clue on the rest ?

Hope you are reasonably ok Pete in the circumstances and recovering from your op. It is good to keep your mind active and I think that quizzes can help keep those grey cells working a bit though mine are slightly fuzzy most of the time!
