'The Arse of Jessie!'

So.........last night Anne wanted to learn to play 'Euchre', the card game we used to play regularly with Dulcie.

She didn't give much impression of knowing anything about cards at first and her attempts at shuffling the cards were pretty poor.

Will explained the rules but she still seemed a bit bewildered so they started off playing together against me so he could talk her through the hands and discuss why he was playing each hand the way he did.

Her shuffling improved and by the end Will had wandered off and left her pretty much to it.

She played hands he would have passed on and won them......I know that doesn't say much about my card skills.....but in the end she only went and beat me!

"Mum would say 'you have the arse of Jessie," said Will.
