Ongoing contest


Our days start with breakfast and a riveting competition of tavli(backgammon). John keeps a running inventory of the days' successes and failures. He is currently in the lead but I expect this to change today!

He makes use of distractions to alter the course of the game. It could be "look at those birds" or "did I just hear one of the guys fall from the wall?" It works every time!

At lunchtime we are back at the board with another trio of games. One of us will storm off, swearing that we'll never play again! At four o'clock teatime, the game reappears and we battle for position again.
