It was Remembrance Sunday today. At 11am everything stopped for two minutes of silence, prayer and respect. My wife and daughter were in the supermarket when the silence period was announced. But a few people continued to shop, a lady reached for a really noisy, crinkly bag of crisps. I just don't believe how insensitive some people can be, they can't spare two minutes of their time?
This afternoon my kids asked if we could play a game they like. We've played it a million zillion times and it was OK for the first 100 times but now I'm a bit bored with it. They could carry on playing it and not get bored. But instead of getting it I suggested making our own game. So my kids and I came up with this game where up to four players go on a journey through jungle to catch a train that passes through a mountain to arrive at one of two destinations: either the beach or a birthday party. Along the way, there is a chance to pick up one or more special cards that are used at the end of the game to help decide who has won - it's not merely a case of first past the post wins. It takes less than 10 minutes to play and we had some fun. We don't have a name for it yet, does anyone have any suggestions?
Work starts again tomorrow (Boo!). Hope you have a good Monday, folks.

How clever you are to devise games for you kids! It sounds like it could be called "The Amazing Train Trip" or something like that....
