Aunty Jan and Vinnie gave us wonderful gifts, some of an Olympic type nature for Christmas reflecting their voluntary sporting activities of recent months.
Darrell was thrilled with his rock star t-shirt with a guitar on the front and an Olympic initial D badge to wear.
Nigel got a mahooooosive bag of Olympic mascot jellies and a Olympic badge with his initial on.
….. and a Trampolining and Gymnastic Memory Game which afforded us much amusement and family fun, when we decided to give this year’s Christmas Day episode of typical Eastenders misery, doom and gloom and none festive cheer a miss!
You had to try and match pairs of cards featuring very energetic gymnastic activities .. and the person who matched most pairs was the winner.
It made my brain hurt trying to remember where I had last seen the matching card to the one I had just turned over.
…. Nigel needed a lot of help, finger pointing and prompting to match a pair …. but was very pleased with himself when he did!
But it soon became obvious that games of a remembering type nature were very much Darrell’s forte …. and from henseforth shall be known as The Magnificent Mr Memory!
Maybe Marc knows some of the people featured on the cards.
ReplyDeleteFun and games for all the family.
Mrs. G - do you or a friend work for the CIA, Mi5, the Special Branch or a magic gnome? Are you a friend of James Bond or M or Q? Can you see me through the web cam?

Hello Mr D - there is a sneaky little gizmo to the right hand side of this blog called Feedjit. It's a live traffic feed logger and make fascinating reading. I think you last hopped in here about 7 hours ago! I use it on my blog and it's often much more interesting than the things I post about :) Di x
ReplyDeleteThanks Di,
ReplyDeleteI imagined something like this. I didn't suspect Mrs. G of anything bad.
