Big Words
We've recently rediscovered the joys of Scrabble. Our Scrabble heyday was the hot summer of 2003, when Al frequently trounced me before I dejectedly headed back to paint some part of the house. So now, we play a game an evening - and we are locked at 2-2, and our scores are higher than before. No theories just luck with the letters perhaps. Our soundtrack to our deep thinking has been Jose Gonzales' two seminal albums of acoustic introspection, his cover of Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' and 'Killing for Love' being our respective favourites at the moment. Our big words tonight were gating (Al) and queers (me), and I bagged 39 for jabs - not bad for such a small word.

love jose gonzales...
and also love scrabble!! grace, rich and i are frequently locked in a threeway battle, although grace often likes to see whether our letters are of more use to her than her own, so may i suggest this new twist on an old game!!!
yesterday in fact i asked a friend 'scrabble : yes or no?'
fortuantely the answer came back as a yes, friendship saved!!
This is now my measure for all my future friendships....makes life so much easier!
