SUSHI GO!

Today I had intended to take the Xmas decorations down, but Wilson told me he had contracted that little-known affliction of anteaters, New Year Flu*.

I took his temperature and it was slightly above 'normal' so I gave him two paracetamol and let him sit quietly playing 'Sushi Go!' with the Bees.

The surprise hit over Xmas was the game of 'Sushi Go!' — Wilson got really into it and could soon beat all comers! 

He got a little bit morose a few days ago, and when I asked him what was the matter he admitted he was sad because he could never invent a game of such subtlety and depth. He said it put his own inventions, 'ANTicipate!' and 'Name That Ant!' in the shade.

I explained that he was still very young, and when he was older he would probably go on to invent great things — greater even than 'Sushi Go!' which did cheer him up.

Tomorrow, though, the decorations are DEFINITELY coming down!
