Went to 'Loto', which is Bingo! When someone calls out numbers and you have to get a row or two rows or the whole card. If you are wondering why I spent a weekend afternoon playing Bingo it's because it was organised by my Rotary Club and they invited me! Got introduced to the whole hall, I had to go up the front and the presenter said something I didn't fully understand then passed me the microphone! Stood there for about 5 seconds then he whispered to me "c'est genial" so I went ahead and told everyone "It's great". Exactly what is great I'm still not sure. The afternoon was actually fun, being in French of course it helped to learn the numbers, something would get called out and I would only just finally figure out what the number was and that instant he would call out the next number, finding time to search all my cards to see if I actually had that number proved difficult. So Annie and Greg did a lot of pointing to help me. Even the randoms sitting beside me were helping me!

haha yes indeed, but it wouldn't be as fun in English. Actually even in French, after about the 3rd hour it got a bit boring...
