life in the darkness

Good afternoon all. As I sit here in the sunshine in the garden, I am thinking about the first of 2 great trips coming up. The first is going to meet lynn and a few of my other friends. I am really looking Forward to giving all of them a huge hug and thanking them for standing by me etc. It means a lot. Me and Lynn are like sisters. We had a lovely chat last night. We didn’t play a game because it was too hot. The game is called Duck racing. The objective is to race each other round the board for how ever many laps you’re doing but there are challenges and traps involved. If you thought the race was straight forward, it’s nddThere are mines which send you back squares, homemade bombs which can send you back or forward squares at random. Other cards too, including a “suicide card.” that is used when you’re running out of little tokens (feathers.) It sends you back 16 squares, but you earn loads of feathers, which enable you to play some of the cards that trap or stop your opponent in their tracks. You also have general knowledge questions thrown in there too. All in all, it’s quite a fun game. I’m also looking forward to having a go at Lynn’s tower of Hanoi. I first came across one of those in preston. In a neuropsych lecture. The objective of that puzzle is to build a tower, without putting 2 large disks ontop of the other. It looks easy, but it is not easy at all. I can vaguely remember how to complete it, but it will be a memory sequencing challenge. I love puzzles like that, as it keeps the brain active. The trip after this one is to Walsingham, a little village in Norfolk, where you go on pilgrimage. I’m going with my friends from Liverpool. It’s only for three days, but will be exciting. I hope everyone is okay today. I will hopefully be able to record some brilliant thunder storms over the next few days, as it has been sunny for a while which is going to cause destabilisation of the atmosphere. Who knows. I have my recording devices at the ready though.
