Monday - Crockenole

Teeny Tiny Hockey Skates

Didn't do too much today.  John and I had a look around the shops in New Minas and had a bit of a drive around.  We had a mooch in the sports shops and Zellers again.  There wasn't much left at all in Zellers and the Mall in New Minas is a bit of a ghost town these days.  We're gutted (although it's probably just as well) because Pretzel Maker has gone.  No treats in the Mall then.  It seems that Zellers is closing for good on 31st so with that to add to the list of shops that have disappeared, it's uncertain what will happen there.  We spotted a Sony Walkman which was half price and 8Gb which we bought for John.  Converting it back it worked out at about £36 so later John went back with his Mom and bought another one for me!  Nice!  No iTunes required!  Bonus!!!  We had a look in Canadian Tire which was funny.  It amuses me the broad range of stuff that's there.

In the evening after supper (Corned beef and cabbage) we had a game of Crockenole which is something I haven't heard of before.  It's a really good game and Judy was on form with comments such as "shit in your hat" which is a new one. We scoffed a load of M&M's and Hersheys "Kishes" (as my Mum would say) and had a really good laugh playing the game.  Sadly, crockenole is probably a bit too big to bring home!
