Me, Stressed?

Dropped Bodil off today for her business trip to Singapore, which means I'm alone with the kids until Thursday. Will I survive? So far so good, but I'm only half a day in and already I'm feeling a bit battered. As it's the first time me and the kids have been alone for a while, I decided to make a day of it and we headed off to a museum. Once we found the playroom, I convinced the kids to have a go at Mindball. I first saw this game being demonstrated by its originators a few years ago when I visited the Interactive Insitute in Stockholm - which has to be my number one place I would want to work. The basic concept of the game is that you strap two people into a brain-wave detector, which is then coupled to magnets which move a ball up and down a line on a table. The most relaxed of the two players is able to move the ball into the opponents goal, and win. The result? Sammy won both games against me, but lost against Alice. So it's official, I am the most stressed member of the family. Tomorrow Bodil will be at Raffles trying the original Singapore Sling, while I will be in the basement wrestling with the week's laundry. Make mine a Pink Gin love!
