I beat him after the first game and he refused to play again. Maybe I should take up chess in my retirement, now I'm an Old Age Pensioner...<br />Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540456562833941487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-32560732315089078132017-03-09T19:11:18.216-05:002017-03-09T19:11:18.216-05:00Thanks for the nice comments.

It never occurred to me that you were not a seasoned photographer because I have always thought they were so good. You will be brilliant if you have lessons. In chess I aspire to be mediocre.

I hope you had a great time away and didn't have to stay in Newark a second longer than necessary.<br /><br />I am not even going to mention the orange dickwit.<br /><br />I am excited on your behalf that you are going to Morocco! It was somewhere I had always wanted to visit, and 18 months ago I finally got to spend 2 weeks there. It is an extremely interesting place to go - and yes, you MUST do the desert thing, camel ride etc. You can stay in luxury tents if that appeals. They postponed our camel ride, which was scheduled for 2.00 pm, because the temperature was 38C, and instead we had it in the early evening, which was brilliant. Nothing like riding on a real camel across the dunes of the Sahara desert at dusk. Magic.<br /><br />Your 7th paragraph describes me exactly - photography lessons were top of my to-do list when I retired, which is now 2 years ago. I could plead that such things are hard to find in a small rural town, which is true. But it is back at the top of my list, and I do live only 45 minutes' drive from an actual city. So your example prompts and inspires me to do something about it!!<br /><br />Sorry about all of this - it is not so much a 'Comment' as an essay. And I haven't forgotten that your eyes aren't working properly. I do hope that an answer is found for that soon, and that you will be back to reading etc as usual. <br /><br />Enjoy your chess. As a player, I have never managed to be more than mediocre.Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405656530899442354noreply@blogger.com
