In preparation for giving-up something for the period of Lent, we were invited to Jo and Janet’s for a mega-Chinese meal!
I’m aiming to give up chips and ice-cream (and possibly chocolate too) for forty days! (Cue soundtrack from Mission: Impossible!)
Ann is giving up wine and chocolate!
The Chinese-food was probably the best takeaway we’ve had since we lived here – scrummy!
What happened next was shape the rest of the evening. We decided that I should have a go with the Nintendo Wii. The girls had played before – I’d never been near one!
Apparently, I was entertaining to watch and this was complemented by my lack-lustre performance overall in the various games and exercises.
Here are my results:
| Balance(d) |
Un! |
|
| Weight |
Over! |
|
| Ski Slalom |
Hopeless |
|
| Ski Jump |
Better |
|
| Head-ball |
So-so |
|
| Table tilt |
Not bad |
|
| Bowling |
OK |
|
| Boxing |
Awful |
….but it was GREAT fun and highly addictive!!!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
