Two things

...really took off yesterday. Our feature on boardgames beyond the usual family favourites seemed to go down a storm. It is certainly the season for sitting round the table, doshing out the cards, money and plastic tokens, folding the board open and wondering how long this will go on for. We've done quite a few recently and it is a splendidly analogue way of spending an afternoon. And the new games-where you team up against the game-sound intriguing. I just need to work out whether we'll all summon up the will to learn the rules to a new game, when an old one seems quite good enough...

And then there was the shelfie. A snap of your book case. We have been inundated! And very fine they are too. You can, it seems, tell quite a lot from someones book collection-just compare mine with Matt's and Rebecca's and see what I mean. E-readers just can't do this, so here's another analogue glory for us to share. Alphabetical? Colour-coded? Arranged by genre? Shoved in anywhere? Doesn't matter, a full book case is a wonderful thing. Photos please!

And 2 tune participation strands today. We'll have another Tunes Day please-songs over 5 minutes in all their full-length glory. We played the full Layla on Friday and thought it was time we played more. What do you fancy? And the oldies should be DIET and DETOX themed as you can't move without another feature about the 'essential-5-day-lose-a-stone-by-eating-chips-and-drinking-beer-detox' which sounds great but you have no intention of doing anything about it. So choose an oldie instead. So much easier.

So much to do before 5! Have a mighty Tuesday.
