Now it's Bouncing Balls on the Novel games site. Only one thing at a time for months and months. Never anything complicated like Fortnight. I'm just moving into a new game: Duo Lingo. At last, applying my addiction to something useful.

Leaving aside that I just love to bring order to chaos, they are watercooler moments, time out, an indulgence. And because they need concentration you sort of zone out other thoughts. Like twenty winks without needing to lie down.<br /><br />Gosh, Patience. Totally forgotten about it. I am sure I played it in my early twenties. Will give it a go again (off line). My latest ambition to learn Poker.
