When I say ‘arrives’, I actually mean it was brought home yesterday. A Nintendo branded stalk dropping it off over the garden fence wasn’t an option and I should consider myself lucky a full 6 months after launch that there was 1 remaining console in Game. Crazy. I picked up Zelda, an extra controller with an extra nunchuck and Cooking Mama - it was the game I thought I’d have the best chance of wooing the girls with, given their love of cooking.

So far Grace has taken to the boxing and the bowling - tennis was a bit too tricky for her, her disappointment was more than made up for by knocking both Alice and myself out in the boxing. To add insult to injury she knocked me out whilst looking the other way and poor Alice didn’t stand a chance! It was left to mum to show who rules this particular roost, flooring the previously undefeated reception classer in a little under 2 minutes! Zelda and Cooking Mama must wait, taking a back seat to Big Brother - the flip side of the console living in the lounge.

To date, I’ve only suffered a minor wii-injury (tennis related) whilst serving a particularly devilish overhand shot, forgetting that the lightshade has been there for just a day less than the time that we’ve been in this house (a little over 4 years). A bruise (it was tougher than I thought) and some dented pride was the only damage done, thankfully I’d remembered to pull the curtains before play begun.
