Gaming
Daily games being played at the moment. With a cup of Tea Ordinaire, this lot gets me set up for the day and the old noggin ticking over:
- Tiled Words - Sort of a crossword.
- Clues By Sam - discover the innocents and criminals.
- Bee Sort - less taxing but fun.
- The daily spell - Work out the words - I'm doing the hilarious The Importance of Being Ernest.
- Putt Day - Daily crazy golf.
Always happy to play online so please do invite me for a game of something! Me on board Game Arena.
