Yesterday was bridge! I am having difficulty in coming to terms with a partner with whom I am unfamiliar, and whose style of playing is different from mine, particularly because she is accustomed to playing rubber bridge rather than contract bridge. In the latter, instead of just trying to make a rubber, you are trying to maximise your points (because you are playing against all the other North/South players, (if you are playing North/South).
I was beginning to get a bit cross (inside only, of course); however in the last board of the afternoon I made a complete and utter horlicks of playing the hand, with nobody to blame apart from myself. It should have been an easy game to play, but a momentary lapse of concentration was my undoing……Serves me right!
My name and phone number are up on the board in case anyone is looking for a partner for tonight.
When I got back to the ranch yesterday, I was just in time for a very welcome cup of tea. One of the ladies has loaned me a book which promises to be very interesting. As we were going our separate ways, two of them came back in my direction and my suggestion of a GandT was greeted with glad cries of joy.

Gin and tonic with lime, a habit we've got in to on Fridays with pleasing regularity!
You're my sort of people! A good way to end the week.
Catching up on blogs and sorry to read you fell again on Sunday, and had to miss Church as a result. Glad you got out ok to Bridge yesterday though. S
