Are you game?
A lazy day with only a limited walk for the dog...my left knee is killing me. I've had to ask for police protection but I just know that one night when my guard is down, wham! It'll go for my throat and goodnight Vienna. So a quiet day in with plenty of tea, toast, music and a good book to read. A book that combines the dry dusty tomes of historical research with the dry dusty fields of actuality.
"We beat the might of the Roman Legions".
(Oops! Wrong Goths).
Mrs.C and I did go out for lunch and as I walked past 'Binns' I was drawn inexorably to the window display. Five minutes later after dealing with the delightful Sara (Management Trainee Programme on her badge after I misread it as MP) I was again outside the shop clutching it in my sweaty hands...Yes, I found a cribbage set. Mrs.C has spent ages looking for one and I thought I'll have to try the net. During the halcyon years of my teens whilst I studiously attended to my education we were encouraged to play sports, act and develop as all round human beings (difficult to achieve in an all boys school). But we also developed a passion for bridge and cribbage. Having a near enough addiction to backgammon, albeit on the internet, I occasionally play internet cribbage. With the board I can now play at my local; beer and boardgames.Wonderful! I'd better get some practice in and No.1 has developed a recent passion for card games so I'll teach him and get the practice in.
I'll have to go...someone at the door.
TTFN.
