Housie or Bingo… it’s all one and the same

I have been trying my hand at playing Housie once a fortnight with some of my bowling club friends. It is quite enjoyable, but at three hours long, I am exhausted by the end of it.

Today I didn’t win any prizes big or small, but it was still quite enjoyable. Obviously more fun if I won something!

I was bemoaning my lack of luck today and saying, ‘I don’t know why I bother, I’m not very good at this’ and one of my friends said, ‘You do it for the company and getting you out of the house’ She is so right. I need to find things to get me out of the house so that I don’t get too reclusive and then find that the mood suffers because of it.

At least Housie is working my brain. That’s got to be a good thing!

I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful.
