Saturday, April 23

We didn't bother going to the shows last night; one was a fellow telling stories with patterns in sand (!), the other was a comic juggler.  As Jamie often says, it's another nail in the coffin of variety.  Instead we sat in the Crooner Bar and let the entertainment come to us. First a piano player, the sort who mucks up good melodies by playing lots of frills paradiddles, the second artist was very good singer/guitarist with an unvarnished Scottish accent, and the third was another piano player who mucked up his act by singing and telling off-colour stories.

There had been a change of dinner arrangements so we are now on a table of 6 at 5.30.  The other two couples are from Brisbane, travelling together and very pleasant.  Again, the food was great:  my choice was Blueberry Soup followed by Seared Scallops.

Today started well with a win at Trivia.  6 teams got the same score but we won the tie-breaker: how old was Martin Luther King when he won the Nobel Peace Prize?

It's now time to sit at the pool enjoying the warmth.
