Sunday- Gambling, Booze and Gluttony

After a fun morning configuring Skype for internet talking (user name’s gwynfisher if you fancy belling me)… Sally and Martin took me to Pala, a Southern California version of Vegas with a more laid back atmosphere. As a cover band played Black Velvet and Paradise City, I played roulette and a fair bit of poker only losing a small amount of money over the 1.5 hrs there. They make their money on the $3 charge to use the cash machine (ATM) i reckon. Anyway it was worth it (using my finely honed Justification System ™) as all those losses went towards the all-you-probably-shouldn’t-eat bargain buffet, which included steak, bbq pork, special fried rice, salmon, spring rolls, spinach salad, beetroot, profiteroles, wine, chocolate cake, chips, spuds, cajun shrimp, chow mein and pizza. 4 hrs later and I’m still waddling round. I’ll never fit into that little black dress for Bethan and Ali’s Behitchment ceremony in two weeks. Sita’s back tomorrow morning, turns out there was all comers in Philly including Kathy & Vance, and Burmese food was Saturday night’s theme. Oh well, next year etc…
