Sorry, not at home!

My 3/7 resolution went down the drain this week, as we took turns being away from home for the past few nights.  The hubby was on call 2 of the days, and has to attend a department dinner tonight.  The remaining days coincided with evening low tides, which meant that I spent a good part of the late afternoon out at the mangroves and could not cook...

Anyway, speaking of being not at home reminds me of a card game we used to play when we were young, called "Happy families".  Ever remember this game, where cards were randomly given out to all players, and the aim of the game is to form up as many families of 4 as possible, by asking a player each time for a specific card that you thought he/she possessed?  I remember how we would gleefully say "Sorry, not at home!" whenever we didn't have the card, and how the families had really cute names like Mr, Mrs, Miss and Master Pint (where Mr Pint was supposed to be a milkman)!

Well, here's an updated version of the game, called "We are a Happy Family".  Instead of forming up families using names, the cards bear various designs from 8 different artists, so you match up the cards using the alphabets at the top instead (for example, set A has 4 different artworks by the same artist).  I really loved the designs, so I ordered a pack to reward myself after my exams (and it just reached me recently, after making it through all the volcanic ash!).  And the nicest thing is, the proceeds for the cards go to the humanitarian organization, Doctors without Borders.  :)  Click here to read more about the cards, or email pintameldia@gmail.com to purchase them.  The cards cost 16 Euros (10 for the cards, 6 to ship to Singapore).

Well, I'm off to key in more data, til next time, have a great weekend!
