A coup

Barely a week since our last coup, we broke through to the 600 barrier at Scrabble again this afternoon, even it we did not quite get over it. BH was unlucky in her letters, in that while she drew all the big scorers, that is to say the 'Z', the 'Q', the 'X' and the 'J', I made more points from them than she did. Added to which the blocked up layout pushed her into giving me triple words.

We will celebrate with a bottle of 'Mademoiselle', with the last recorded bottle being more than three months ago now, at reference 2. Which doesn't seem right, but as the nurse at FIL's nursing home told us, if you don't write it down, it hasn't happened. You didn't do it. The record rules!

We had thought to take a glass outside, but the sun has just dropped behind the trees at the bottom of the garden and we thought it would cool down pretty quickly now, so settled for indoors. Which has the advantage that I am less likely to forget my warfarin. 

And we will see if it lasts long enough to go brown on us.
