It's hard to believe it has been so long since my last post. The longer I waited the harder it was to do it but here I am.
Yesterday I played duplicate bridge for the first time and, once I was over my initial nervousness, really enjoyed it. I had some good cards and played some hands well and as always messed up some. The things I messed up where bridge things nothing to do with duplicate. I liked comparing what we did with what the other group did. I came in next to the bottom but I learned a lot. I need to ask how my partner had more points than I did because I don't understand the scoring.
Today hasn't been as much fun as yesterday since I've spent most of the day in the car going back and forth to and from the swimming pool. Sang in the choir for a funeral which was nice; big family, big crowd. Bridge, Kelsey, Elyse and I had lunch but even that wasn't easy. I dropped them off so they could order while I made a trip to the pool with the boys but they didn't try to get served because there was a sign that said no unattended children. They waited for me to get back and we just went somewhere else. Wonder if they would have been served if they had explained that I was returning but I guess I'll never know the answer.
I just finished listening to the Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton and really enjoyed it; however, I'm not sure I would have liked it as much if I had been the reader. There was a lot of repetition about the locks and safes. I'm reading Gallows Bird by Camille Lackberg which is also very good. I still don't know where the title came from or what it means.
Time out to pick up the boys at swimming. Arrrgh. Got half way there and they had another ride. Okay. Back home for the rest of the day because it's too hot to go anywhere. I'm ready for rain or some cooling down. This is crazy!
Must be time to read my book.
