Friday Night

Friday Night Carrom. Chris and I v the children. We were playing black so you can see how far ahead we got.

Not sure if it's good parenting or not, but chris and I always play everything to win. There must have been a time when we didnt because I remember Betsy once having an enormous tantrum when she was about four when she suspected Chris wasn't trying his absolute hardest in goal during what he probably assumed was a friendly little kickabout with his kid. Her cousin had just got back from travelling and had bought her a Brazil strip. She stomped into the kitchen, eyes blazing, like a furious little Pele, refusing to play with Three-and-In with Daddy any more if he 'wasn't trying his absolute best!'

Met my friends Sue, Tracey, Rachel and Rebecca for coffee this afternoon. It's years since we did that.
