I spent four hours in the kitchen yesterday and we all spent FIVE HOURS in the dining room playing Trivial Pursuit. I’m still wondering how that was possible, but we didn’t finish until 1 am on Boxing Day! I took this photo of the family just after our cheese break about half-way through the marathon.
I was trying to be arty and get myself in the mirror taking the photo but there was too much flash in it.
Honestly, we did have a laugh but as usual they all look like morose Scotsmen in my photos. Although to be fair – Laura looks like a morose Lancashire lass!
Works best if you are at an angle to the mirror – that way the flash doesn’t hit square back at ya.
Love the picture. From the expressions, you must have been winning!
I love Trivial Pursuit. Once we were playing with my stepson and DIL and they had just bought the game. We all were struggling with most of the questions, which is unusual for the four of us — all well read repositories of generally useless minutia. The sports questions started sounding vaguely familiar – especially the hockey references and I looked at the instructions insert — we were playing the Canadian edition! :-/
Hope you were well rested for Boxing Day – get to sleep in?
Pearl,
Thanks, that tip makes sense, I must experiment. I did get a lie in on Boxing Day and hardly any cooking to do, just a turkey and ham pie to make with the leftovers, great.
You’re right – I did win! We played so much TP that the same questions were coming around but we didn’t always remember the answers! It’s the sport questions which I hate. We’ll have to get some more boxes of questions if possible. It was good fun though, much better than the poker we played last year.
That looks like a game and a half!!
Lovely to see all your family though.
Jo,
I hadn’t played Trivial Pursuit for years, I think I’ve made up for it now!
Who won? WOW 5 hrs.!
Peggy Ann,
Apparently there’s a quick way of playing but we obviously went down the long route. I won the first game, much to everyone’s surprise I’m sure. I’m drawing a veil over the subsequent proceedings though!
