We went quizzing last night - all in a good cause, and there only five teams - but a good quiz master, and interesting questions. We joined up with two young women and two middle aged women who needed more people - and it was likely the young women (18/19) who had a bottle of wine between them would not contribute too much - but the other two were keen. In fact, in the end everyone contributed - and wonder of wonders - our team won - this against a table where there were old established quizzers who were competing hard - and even queried an answer in the last round vociferously - they were overruled - and we won by one point - the were not chuffed!!! So we got six bottle of wine between us and one did not drink - so we came home with two bottles of wine and and a box of chocolates won in the raffle.
It is great to have an evening with people you do not normally see socially - and have a good time in a friendly atmosphere - maybe we will be banned next time - or asked to be on someone's team.
A quiet day today - SW...is out and I am home alone - but I have to write something for a magazine on an aspect of history - and I have been putting it off - so this weekend I have to do it!! I have all the material, but have to think how to organise it. Writing this is a bit of time wasting, but I have written 600 words
Of course I might just do a little fantasising too!!

Love trivia nights at bars... wish we would start doing it again, but an obnoxious team has started at the nearby bar so we don't go anymore. They would yell "america" whenever anything was slightly related. Doesn't matter how much you drink you can only take so much of that!
