Wednesday

 The sun has been out again today - although it is tending to be a little on the humid side now.  Everyone at work was commenting on it and there were moves to open windows and turn on the air conditioners to get some kind of workable(in) environment happening.  Some people are just never pleased are they?  Only a minute ago we were all talking about wanting the rain to go away!  

The January special is still on at Spinners - even though it is February,  but it will finish tomorrow.  Next/this month's special is a "Chicken Dinner" where you get a whole chicken - not quite sure how that's going to work! They must have arranged access to a whole lot of small whole chickens or lots of very large plates!  And the special isn't the only change - they've  changed one of their mocktails - the Passion Brew - usually it comes with fruit pieces in it but this time while the recipe stayed the same (although we never have had two that tasted the same) they had blended it with ice and while both M and I were prepared to complain about it,  it was so nice that didn't even come close to happening. 

They were having a "swipe your card for the chance to win a prize" promotion and M and I managed to score $10 each. Granted, not a massive amount but it's better than not getting anything! And we manahed to get seats on the CSP table - which was not unkind this evening! 

ROM remains unfixed.   M was going to have a look at it this afternoon but didn't have time to.  She and S had only been home for a couple of minutes (both of them had a win at Bingo - and,  good news, their friends there,  Harry and Daphne,  have had a couple of wins lately as well) before I arrived - and then M and I decided to have an early leave for The Big House. 

I'm thinking about thinking up a name for the $25 chips at The Big House.  If they name currency,  and people do - although I can't remember what they call the different notes - or if they have names for all of the denominations,  why can't they do it with casino chips? Or do they and we just don't know what they are?  We have a name for the $100 chip (thanks to an American mate of M's at the Casino) and I know there are names for the bigger chips - but what do you call the $5 and $25 chips?  I think the $25 one should be called an Aussie - because it is the Australian colours - green and gold (well,  more yellow,  but it's not that much of a stretch) - or Wattle - for the same reason - but Aussie seems to go better with Obama than Wattle,  but that's just my opinion!
