A Rainy Day means Indoor Play


Looking forlornly out the window


watching the rain come down...with no let up it seems.  What to do?  They wonder.

Of course it doesn't take the foursome long to find a game to play.


Lewis suggested the Pinball game which Henry thought was a brilliant idea.


Henry starts.


Oops Henry, it has got stuck!


Shall I move it?  Lewis asks.

No leave it, it might get knocked off by another ball.  Donny suggests.



Peggy Sue gives Henry a clap as he scores a 30.


The little marble is still stuck...I wonder if it will move.


Looks like the next ball knocked it down.



Yippee, cheers Henry


 I scored THREE thirties and two twenties.  That makes 130!


Well done Henry.  Peggy Sue gives him another clap.


Peggy Sue has the next turn.


It is all about concentration Donny, she tells him.


Donny watches intently to see how well Peggy Sue does.


Great first go!


Wow, look at my score!



I didn't do too badly either.  Peggy Sue announces.


30 + 20 + 10 + 20 + 30 = 110!


Not bad Peggy Sue, a little behind Henry though.  Lewis says as he gives her a clap.  

Lewis has a turn and gets 120 and Donny gets the same score as Peggy Sue.

Later on they are seen playing a game of cards.


Lewis dealt out the cards.


Peggy Sue and Donny look at their cards.


Peggy Sue is pleased with her hand of cards.



Lewis explains the rules - he has done some reading up of cards games.


The game proved to be quite lively!

After lunch out came the dominoes...


The group enjoyed playing together.


Although it was difficult to get the dominoes standing up on the carpet.  


Donny suggested they push the dominoes into the carpet, which worked quite well.


With a temperature of around 13 degrees celcius outside and the rain pouring down, you would think it is autumn, not summer!  Very disappointing summer holidays for the group, but at least they had some games to play to keep them occupied.

A Game of Pinball


I love finding things that work well with the residents of Rose Cottage.  When I saw this Pinball game I knew it would be perfect for them.


Lewis is the first to try it.  


He pulls the spring loaded peg back.


Checks his score.  

This will be a great game to play with friends, especially on wet days.

A Game of Cards?

Peggy Sue and Lewis were up early this morning.  It looked like it might be a wet day so they started the day with a game of cards...


It is your turn Lewis.  Peggy Sue says.


They seem to be enjoying their game, and I am pretty sure Peggy Sue might be winning.


Peggy Sue holds hers discreetly so Lewis can't see them.


Lewis on the other hand, is blithely unaware that all can see his cards!

I think Lewis will need to 'hold his cards closer to his chest' in order to play with Peggy Sue.
