This morning The Best Sister In The World came and picked up all the stuff I had dropped under the tallboy, and changed a light bulb. Elder son and I had come across energy saving bulbs in the “golf ball” bulbs, so it will be interesting to see how long it lasts!
Two weeks ago my partner and I came first out of 5 tables at Bridge. Wow!
Last week I played with yet another partner, and we came in at 4th pair (out of five)..
This week, every thing that could go wrong did go wrong.
I revoked TWICE. This is a cardinal sin. In other words, if someone leads a suit (say a spade ( you must play a card of the same suit (unless you have none)
You lose a lot of points doing this and your partner gets exceedingly cross.
A sort of excuse is that the room was very hot – until I got a radiator switched off.
But more is that I was definitely off form, (and what's more I did it twice!)
Don’t want to give up, but will certainly have to get my act together.

I guess we all have an off day-it sounds like the Bridge was going very well before that. I have a flatmate who is very serious about cards in general and I must admit I am not the ideal partner/player, I seem to have a short attention span when it comes to cards! Wishing you better luck for the next game:)
Wish I knew what on earth you were talking about with the Bridge comments - errr, no I don't!!
Hey - great to see you have another new fan (ref yesterday's blog) - and one from Long Island too. Isn't the Big Apple where Daughter has just been visiting?
I love playing games but prefer to play with people who don't take things too seriously! My sister and I always have a great time with card games.
Bridge is not a matter of life or death, no not at all. It's much more serious than that ;)
yes daughter was in the Big Apple
