Scars

I thought I’d write about the scars that my body has accumulated over the years, from various accidents and other incidents.

There’s one on my forehead, which I’m told derives from a temper tantrum when I was two. Apparently I hit it on the corner of a brick wall.

When I was a preschooler I fell off a bunk bed and needed stitches in my head, and you’d probably find a scar there if you shaved my head. I remember tiny fragments of this event, but not most of it. I remember feeling dazed, and more specifically, responding in a dazed way when asked which of two adults should trim the hair back.

Playing card websites

Remember the domino game Peaks & Pits which I invented and blogged about in October?

Well, it’s now been added to the index of invented games on John McLeod’s website. The one-sentence blurbs that John writes for each game are, I think, always excellent; his summary of Peaks and Pits reads: ‘A domino game by Adrian Morgan in which players aim to make “slopes” - playing tiles so that the numbers progress either upwards or downwards - changes of direction are penalised‘.
