Friday Games Night

With a long week behind us, with some illness and some rain, we decided against going to Mum and Dad's tonight, and instead at Helen's instigation it was Games Afternoon.

First up it was two games of Go Fish, with the usual troubles of Josh not holding his cards so no one could see them, and Jessica finding a way to ensure she knew what everyone had in their hand. To no one's real surprise, Jess won both games.

Then it was time for Zingo, where Helen's ability to say "ME" quicker than anyone else stood her in good stead and won her both games. This didn't sit well with Josh, who doesn't like to not win.

Then it was time for Uno, the regular killer for our family, when no one seems to know when it is actually their turn and that the colours don't match, or that someone always seems to pick on the other with Draw Two's and Skip's and Reverse's. Actually, that always seems to be me. Anyway, with some tired tempers becoming frayed it was a good thing that both Josh and Maddi won one game each, meaning that the only person who didn't win a game on the evening was... well yes... me.

Playing along with some mood music was also good. It was a casual evening, and the feeling was right for some of The Beatles, Roxy Music, The Eagles and other such stuff. We did some stuff together as afamily, and it was great. Something we need to do more often, I think.
