LUDO

She sat detached and quiet after Sunday lunch, ready, as often, to slip into a nap. Brightening, at the suggestion of Ludo. Watching the board being set up. Rolling the dice. Letting a grand daughter move her counter - but watching, concentrated, leaning forward, smiling, laughing, engaged for the length of the whole game i.e. quite unlike her usual these days.
So - have just ordered Snakes and Ladders.
Wondering about taking a small tabletop game with us when we go out for coffee, for the times that conversation gets too difficult. Any suggestions?
