After a day of minor frustration attempting to learn a new piece on the violin, amongst other things, I went down to Black Park with the usual suspects for an evening of sitting around, eating strawberries, surrounded by nature (mostly trees and grass), possibly kicking a football around, and finishing with a nice leisurely stroll. After dark, we convened at Sarah’s to continue chatting and playing games. After an unsuccessful game of Empire where I’d taken on the name of Sarah’s pet, I was a little more successful at Scrabble, with a very ego inflating ‘drowning’ using up all my letters and pretty much giving me the game. 🙂
