Last night, we again won the Pub quiz, this week we won one of the rounds and the overall thing, the prizes, well 2 free drinks each and a game called 'Who is it'! There is still no sign of the Wii, but never mind one day it might appear, that is if we don't get banned for winning every week...I've noticed that there are quizzes and games everywhere, from old standards like Bingo, Crosswords and now Sudoku. My mum used to have at least one puzzle book on the go all the time, I keep finding them as I'm clearing out her stuff, my dad, well he had them too, but he also had computers everywhere,bits of computers a keyboard here a keyboard there, sinclair spectrums, zx80's, lot's of stuff...I suppose I should see if they are worth anything on the net, can I really be bothered though? It's been 2 years since they died and I'm still trying to sort out the house, let's not talk about the garage and the 'sheds'. I keep getting distracted. After my mum died, my dad 'gave up' and lasted 34 days, I utterly admire and am in constant awe at anyone who can love someone else so much that they cannot go on without each other. You hear about it a lot, but to see it is something else. I'm not sure I'll ever be like that, I've been told that I'm selfish, probably as a result of being an only child who knows, at the moment I am living on my own and missing a hug.
On a different tack, I spotted this a while ago in Amsterdam, why don't we have interesting things like this here, what a great tonic after a busy day, let's get together and have a phone throwing championships, nah we can't live without them can we?
In May we are having a quiz at the Library to 'celebrate' Europe day, I've been co-opted onto the 'boys' team, not fair, I want to be with the girls...anyway I spotted this the other day and just had to make a photo...
No, I didn't look at the answers or the questions...honest!!!!!!!!! Karen, Stef (aka Dave) and Nicole would kill me very painfully. Can you be killed without pain hmmm another time maybe.

Sorry to hear about your parents. There's must have been an amazing relationship. I'm sorry for you to have lost them so close together. Be easy on yourself about going through their things. I imagine it must be very difficult and perhaps you want to hang on to alot of it for a while yet. Sending a virtual hug. Hope you're not going to get barred at the pub for winning too many quizes!
heers for the virtual hug...hope you're enjoying the sun...I'm off to the pub for a couple of swifties
