The dominoes season started on Wednesday. Emma and I usually greet this with great enthusiasm - the chance for a night out socialising and generally having fun. For some reason, this year, we were not looking forward to it. Perhaps it was the lingering memory of last season. We seemed to remember that it rained heavily every Wednesday evening, that several of the other players had dreadful colds which they insisted on sharing with us, and that our games frequently coincided with televised football matches, filling the pub with noisy, heavy-drinking supporters. And with our team short of players, Emma and I felt duty bound to turn up every week, come what may. This week, we were competing with a sudden influx of diners, a Wales match on the wide-screen, and we had trouble even finding tables to play on. We could only manage a draw - which was more than Wales could manage.
