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!
