Found it at last.

You'll have to forgive an old bloke banging on about his hobby just once more! Mark - do you remember ages ago I asked if you remembered a card game we played as kids? I'm pretty sure it was actually yours. It was all about spies and stuff and was set in the desert. Well ... I've found out what it was called - Foreign Legion and someone else on BoardGameGeek remembers it as well. Here's the picture, click on the link for more info. Does it ring any bells ... I guess it's too much to expect you to still have it!

There's interesting . . . !

One for you, Andy (-; I know it's an old article but I found this on the BBC site having seen an advert for Welsh Scrabble on a boardgames website. Apparently, it has no X, Q or Z and Y only scores one!

Another fascinating little 'gem' from the same article - in the Polish version, Z only counts as 1. Next time there's a lull in the dinner party conversation, you know what to bring up!

As a matter of fact...i'm back!

Hello everyone.......Got the computer back at last.
My typing is now even slower than before as I have treated myself to lovely long false nails and if I'm not careful I press all the wrong letters, can be rather embarrassing!
Happy birthday to Charlie..........Feel like you're getting on a bit does it Paul? At least you have your" little one" to keep you young!
I went to my first property auction last Friday, Shoulders were very tense, trying not to scratch our noses but great fun and we came away with a bargain Victorian Jobie in Greenwich (well.....Plumstead anyway).
If anyone has any free time on their weekends we would love to see you. We are only 4 miles up the Wrotham road from where we used to be.
Mark and Kim the view from your holiday villa looks spectacular.....I'm very jealous:)
Love to everyone
Ruth XXXXXXXXXX

Oh to be 21 again

another one has reached 21 GOD i feel old ! Chaz`s 21st to day out for a few down the old Chequers. Any 1 fancey a pint ? Before we drink it all. Bye 4 now

Recently back from Majorca. Seems like a distant memory already. Pretty good weather, though it does change quite rapidly when your that high. Great food. Need a few more visits to the gym now, i think. This pic. is a typical veiw from the villa that we were lucky enough to stay at. Hope all is well with everyone and Ruths move went ok. Went to Pauls last sunday. Nice road and house good to catch up with them. Will write more soon. Going to eat now.

Busy Weekend

I took Friday off and me and Caroline went to Wimbledon to watch the Davis Cup vs Croatia. I've never been to a 'proper' tennis match (let alone to the All England Club) so that was a novelty in itself. However, not so much of a novelty as seeing two British sportsmen win on the same day!

Spent most of Saturday and Sunday painting bits of the house, mostly front room ceiling and staircase bannisters. I'm glad that's out of the way - back to work tommorrow for a bit of a rest!
