Major HBs to Blacky for his birthday yesterday. It was a pretty good day from where I was sitting, so I hope he enjoyed it.
My weekend was awesome - Blacky was going to BDO on Sunday, so Lates had organized an apartment on the Gold Coast for us to hang out at all weekend. SWEET! Oh, wait. I missed a bit.
Saturday was a market day - Nadia had to work on Saturday :thefinger: so it was just Rob and myself again. I bought loads of yummy gourmet sausages from the Chriberg man, and then Rob and I went for breakfast at the Roundabout.
It’s not as fancy-schmancy as Harvey’s, but good in a greasy spoon kinda way. We were sitting there discussing computer things, predictably, when Bek sat down next to us. Her, Brett and Bek’s folks were having breakfast at the Gunshop Cafe next door, and Brett recognized my back (I am very identifiable from the rear aparently) and they came on over to say “hi”. That was nice.
We kicked around my apartment, packing up and what not, and then headed down the coast. We were staying at Seascape, between 13th and 14th Ave, Palm Beach. Glara and mini-Glara were coming down for the day, and so was Brek. It was really nice to spend the day with friends, chilling. We had lunch at this place called “X” or something, and then went off to buy cake and booze for the birthday boy. Brett won the world poker championship, Bek second, me third, and noone else counts. :thefinger: People took little walks down to the beach, tennis was watched, and we had Fish and Chips for tea. I won PoF for the first time ever. Oh, I’ve got mini-Glara’s bib in case Glara was wondering where it got to. Played 500 till the wee hours.
Sunday we had the buffet brunch at the casino, and I ate more than was humanly possible. Indeed, I was on the verge of the :puke: for sometime afterwards. Blacky caught the bus from the casino, and we went home for a snooze. Later, we picked up Blacky and played more 500.
Monday, we skipped breakfast and took a swim in the ocean. It was great, but the flags were a hundred miles from the apartment. :rolleyes: We also skipped lunch and played Puerto Rico, then went home. FINALLY got something to eat at HJ’s underwood, and got home at about 5pm. My car stinks of leaky airconditioning/wet carpet. I really should get that fixed.
Oh, last night I watched The Incredibles. That’s a great movie, yeah?
