The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Glad you had a great time. Chaotic as ever in Millyland but happy and as well as can be expected whilst waiting for test results. All of us very busy and motivated. We've been playing chess after tea. Little 'un is excellent! Score was one-all.  Then we had to make a poster for school about how to look after your teeth, then reading and I'm now just trying to manouevre him into shower/bed mode. I can't believe how fast the time goes. My life couldn't be fuller really. Very rewarding all told. |

I don't know what anyone else is been doing today, but between posts I am cooking a roast dinner for four (it would have been three but one of the teenager's friends has come to visit the invalid and I thought I'd invite him too), and I'm setting the room up for my friends coming to play bridge at 8 p.m. This involves moving some of the furniture to allow for the card table to unfold and have four chairs round. Does anyone else on here play bridge? I love it! I love all card games, but this is the one that most people play socially in this area.

Sorry, Milly, but I HATE all card games  . In fact, just about all games bore me to pieces. I can enjoy Scrabble. Shall we have a row about it? |

Mary, you don't know WHAT you're talking about. Card games are a civilised and wholesome acitvity, and you of all people should know this. You should be ashamed!  |

I only know Knockout whist and Gin Rummy (which I never, ever win at...) I also played poker a few times at university but I can't really remember how it goes so I suppose I must have been very, very drunk at the time... At any rate, I'm much more excited about the roast you're going to have beforehand!  |

Blunderbusses at dawn - 50 paces! I love Scrabble too. All board games. Dad and I used to play draughts, ludo, snakes and ladders, Monopoly, Cluedo, Scrabble. No telly you see. We used to have a great time. He taught me just about every card game going. I particularly love bridge because no two games are ever the same. You have to suss out what the other three have in their hands via the bidding, work out your strategy, bid your contract and then try to make it. We play for small amounts of money. It all helps to keep the old grey cells going hopefully. Use it or lose it. I've done a quick crossword as well. I had to ring BT and Eon and I managed to remember everything I wanted to say and sort it all out, so I'm quite chipper today. |

Re. the roast, everyone will be having that except me because I'm a veggie. I'm just having the roast spuds, carrots, sweetcorn and cauliflower. I'm trying not to think too much about the poor chicken  , but growing boys need lots of protein and they're carnivores to a man, so I cook meat for them. |

Card games are a civilised and wholesome acitvity, and you of all people should know this. You should be ashamed! I love card games, but I've only played bridge a few times...the bidding is quite an art, I think! We were taught card games like cribbage and gin rummy as children to help us with our mental maths. My father taught me to play chess, which I loved, and we played all sorts of board games. Monopoly usually ended in an argument, however, but things like Cluedo, Risk, Trivial Pursuit etc were great fun. It's only in recent years that I've learnt to play backgammon, but I really enjoy that....a good strategy game. Last week, I taught it to my class, who took an instant liking to it! |
