Cafe Sudoku


As we often do, we road our bikes to our favourite cafe for a coffee. This time was different because we arranged to meet Joy and Abigail there. As we sat around a table out came a picture Sudoku pack especially designed for young children. You complete the Sudoku puzzle by adding animal stickers to the blank spaces. This way is fun for adults as well. Joy and Abigail had never done a Sudoku before and this was the perfect initiation into it. By the time we were half way through the first sheet Joy had the hang of it and could have more fun with Abigail at home.

Abigail's attention span was actually very good, but there was a limit to all this thinking, even with animal stickers. As we neared "cracking" the first sheet, she changed the game into something resembling Bingo. It was all pretty good fun. The coffees were good and the chocolate muffin went down well, shared by all.

We then showed Abigail how we dress for bike riding against the winter winds, and they waved us off. It was a nice way to spend a few hours... friends, bikes, coffee and Sudoku.
