The first was <i>Heckmeck am Bratwurmeck</i>, AKA <i>Pickomino</i>, which I won with my usual flair, strategic insight and cunning tactical mind. Actually I was a flukey a cheese-meister. Lucky, lucky, lucky, luck, luck, luck. Final scores Sam 4, Alai 2, Myles 15. <br /><br />As punishment I was nearly forced to play <i>Res Publica</i>, but we plumped for <i>TransAmerica</i> as the least challenging to our poor tired brains. Even that proved too much for us and we bowed to Alai's inevitable victory when light failed and Sam and I were pressed up against the finish rail with something like 8 or 9 spaces between us and Alai. Lady Luck, she is a fickle dame.<br /><br />We also ate something called Rocky Road from Tescos, which seems to be a sort of chocolate thing in a foil tray with small marshmallows scattered throughout. It was tooth-curlingly sweet. Shudders.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=mylescorcoran&ditemid=224390" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
