28th March 2021 - The Game ... You Lost !!!

Thought for the day :"Burying morbidly obese people is a massive undertaking."

Are you playing "THE GAME"?

Well the answer is of course that you are, whether you know it or not

Indeed because f this - You have just lost the Game!

I shall explain ...

There are three commonly reported rules to The Game:

1. Everyone in the world is playing The Game. (This is alternatively expressed as, "Everybody in the world who knows about The Game is playing The Game" or "You are always playing The Game.") A person cannot refuse to play The Game; it does not require consent to play and one can never stop playing.
2. Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses.
3. Losses must be announced. This can be verbally, with a phrase such as "I just lost The Game", or in any other way: for example, via Facebook. Some people may have ways to remind others of The Game.

The definition of "thinking about The Game" is not always clear. If one discusses The Game without realizing that they have lost, this may or may not constitute a loss. If someone says "What is The Game?" before understanding the rules, whether they have lost is up for interpretation. According to some interpretations, one does not lose when someone else announces their loss, although the second rule implies that one loses regardless of what made them think about The Game. After a player has announced a loss, or after one thinks of The Game, some variants allow for a grace period between three seconds to thirty minutes to forget about the game, during which the player cannot lose the game again.

The common rules do not define a point at which The Game ends. However, some players state that The Game ends when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom announces on television that "The Game is up."

I had not seen the rules and explanation before so thought I would share here ..

In other news it was a pretty rubbish day today - one of those with a drizzly rain most of the day = the sort that covers you without really noticing and not the sort that makes you decide that you really ought to stop what you are doing and go and sit inside with a warm fire..

Still, 'Thena and I did the "loop" around the Donkey Trail..

Found some new flowers on the way ...

Little White Things popping up in the wet ground by the river

Primroses I think on the banks 

Multicolour

Meanwhile, having cut all the brambles back we found that the access to the rear of the garden was now open to the road - though 'Thena had not discovered yet - it seems likely that it would not be long...

A lot of the brambles are gone, and so today's job was to start building the fencing for this section. 

Early View though much has already been cleared

another angle

So - Fencing is now up...

Another section to go at the back down the bank to act as a background for the Cammelia, thinking about putting some laurel bushes as well..

  

Interesting optical illusion -
the bend suggests that the second run bends down 

In fact - the spirit level was pretty close

One Dog-Prof area (we hope)

In other news - a walk yesterday found the first Bluebell of the year. This one was actually at Felin Ganol - our neighbours - but was the first I have found..

The path which will be a sea of colour soon I think

 

But, as I took the "scramble" route back to the lower quarter, our own Bluebell Glade has one of its own..

Will keep an eye on it for the next few days..

Clocks Changed last night - so we are trying to work to the new hours..
Tomorrow - will be the start of the next stage of moving.. Back to Llanelli to start the final clear of 41...

Until then ..

Cheers !
