Lockdown Games,Sports and Distractions - confused2 - Jan 31, 2021
My own:
Skipping - from one end of the room and back not skipping rope skipping though now I think of it I do have a rope and might try the rope skipping thing.
Irish Dancing - more jumping up and down with (apparently) comic effect.
Scrabble - slightly contentious because I seem to win more than randomly.
Mastermind - we have a book with general knowledge questions in it - they come in sets of thirty but we only do 10 as we both lose the will to live after more than that.
There are also Specialist Subject questions but we don't know enough about anything to attempt any of them.
Drinking - in moderation of course - generally less than the recommended 40 units a day.
Software - continuing a program I started 25 years ago. Tension mounts as it starts to seem like I might live long enough to finish it.

I could use a good scrabble opponent. My niece who fancies herself as being smarter than us old folks has given up challenging me. In our last game I let her use any word she wanted, made up or otherwise, and I prevailed again. She’s never beaten me and she doesn’t like it, but I just smile and rub it in. Ever tried solitaire scrabble?
Don’t skip but have taken up walking. I’ve Irish ancestry but can’t dance a lick. I don’t do Mastermind but I have a passion for cryptic crosswords. Gave up drinking years ago. 25 year old software reminds of when I taught myself Basic using my Commodore 64, made up a dice throwing program but that’s it....hope you’re past Basic C2.
