This morning Ruth and I walked into town before breakfast as Ruth wanted to get some English dosh from a 'hole in the wall'. Mr. Barclay's hole in the wall said it didn't have any money, but Mr. Lloyd's was far more accomodating and filled her purse for her (mem. must be nicer about the Welsh in future). We then went shopping in the Co-op and I bought some Suffolk pork pies for breakfast. Walked home and breakfasted - Suffolk pork pies not bad. Then Ann, Ruth and the girls went out walking (above snapshot taken in garden just before they went). By the bye - glad to be able to report tadpoles in pond - must remember to tell Val her donation a success. Played nine men's morris before and after lunch with Tuva - generally got thrashed. Must get Tuva and her cousin Guy to play a game - he can usually thrash me, too. Later in afternoon made 'phone bids at Christies Arms and armour sale - bid for three lots - one successfully. Girls now playing with dressing up box. More later perhaps.

Sometime you are going to have to explain to me what some of your terminology means. I'm not tuned into that English stuff. I should have written down the words I want to know, now I have to post again.
English dosh (coffee?).
nine men's morris?????
I sure you are all having a great time together!
Hi Lori. Dosh. A slang word meaning money or cash. So to go to the hole in the wall for some dosh is to go to a cash machine set into the wall of a bank, and obtain some cash.
Nine men's morris is claime to be the oldest board game in the world. It's played on a board with nine white wooden pegs and nine black wooden pegs, and is more complicated than it sounds.
Cheers, Mike.
