How many years have we been playing?
Oh yeah, lots of years.
We’ve almost finished all the paper from our Xerox box.
Yep, that’s right, all those scores that we’ve scored!
Okay, who wants to start?
Hmm, see, I’ve got a ‘phone’. I’ll put it from the middle to the top – that’s 13. You.
Oh bother! I don’t usually show you this but I am so cross. I would add ‘phone’ to ‘xylo’ to make ‘xylophone’ but there is not room.
Is ‘xylo’ a word?
Not sure, but I’m not going to use that at the moment. Hmm, muttering to myself, not putting that yet (it’s yeti), nor even ‘xyst’, which I also have – a new word a couple of weeks ago, but I will just do this: ‘heist’ – that’s 12.

Later, it’s almost one o’clock, and we have finished our game.

You need to get back, but just before we will listen to the radio. We always tune in to the BBC 4 longwave.
Okay?
There will be a very bad storm, possibly even a gale.
Time to run!
