fucking freezing day but excellent nonetheless.
I took a blanket, my glove and beanie into the exam hall (a gym with *no* insulation*) and they shook them out to make sure I wasn't cheating. Then I wrapped up snuggly warm and did my last exam.
And then, I walked home from the bus, in the winter sunshine, singing along to "river run dry" by hunters and collectors. And now I has wine! YAY!

And to cap it all off - Grey's Anatomy comes on in about 3 hours.
so yes. an excellent day.
And chess is fun! (although I am useless at it)

I've been getting right back into chess
I haven't really played for years, but started teaching daughter a couple of months back and got the bug. Now I've got two books and some awesome software and play a game or two a day.

That probably makes me massively geeky, but I'm down with that.

Ahaha it doesn't matter -
I play Sudoku on my Ipod!

I was never much good at chess
but I can do a mean sudoku!

Not an electronic one though. It's got to be on paper so you can write in little numbers which might fit.

Soduku is bloody hard
I can never get my head around it. My hats come off to those who can manage it. Same with chess. My brain starts running out of my ears.

It's just a case of practice
You have to have a logical mind, but otherwise, just keep practising it, and you'll get good at it.

Same goes for crosswords. Once you understand the odd synonyms compilers use, you can spot the answers relatively quickly. I used to download and complete the Times crossword every day in about 20 minutes. I'm out of practice now though, since they started charging for it online!

I've no patience for computer games though.

I love sudoku
it's ace. I just do it mostly all in my head then fill all the numbers in. takes about 15 minutes to half an hour.
