Bridge once more, and a touch of reality

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.
