Board games!

Yesterday R (girlfriend) and I went for the second time to Chance and Counters in Bristol for our becoming-fortnightly board game lunch date. They do a really good deal of a burger lunch, a drink and two hours of board games for a tenner and that's a good price for lunch and nerdery!


(they also do a really good raspberry lemonade with it)


I sat and read for an hour before R got there as I had to wait for her to have an appt first, so I stared Late Eclipses (fifth Toby book by Seanan McGuire) and listened to the LOTR lo-fi playlist I found on Spotify when I was looking for Twitch-friendly music. 


It was a really good afternoon. We played a quilting-inspired board game I forget the name of, a card game around running a bakery, a complicated but fun board game based around dog walking and then another card game involving collecting treasures and stopping an island from sinking. I probably should remember their names.   But it was loads of fun and we're going back next week to begin our fortnightly-board-gaming-date-afternoon. Yey!
