[ Cards ]

Last week our TV broke.  Granted, it was a 15-year-old Sony Bravia, which had been through 3 moves with us, including an international one.  But this isn’t about the TV: it’s about what we’re doing in the evenings instead.

We now play cards after dinner.  Gin Rummy.  And besides getting us talking to each other, it’s making us use our brains in the evening, in creative and mathematical ways. 

There’s been enough written about turning off the screens, I don’t need to repeat all that.  There’s something to analogue entertainment.  We’re considering looking for a Bridge club next.  How 70s!
