This item on my list was inspired by spending time with Mario’s nonna last year; bingo is her social life, and keen to get to know her better I begged Mario for us to go with her (it was awesome, and I learned some Italian curse words). It also had a sentimental value for me, as it’s one of the remaining memories I have of my own grandmother – spending weekends at the bingo hall playing with her, and winning loads of prizes. Apparently in my memories my grandma was pretty good at it 🙂
