Fathers' Day and we were taken to the Country Club Casino where we were promised good food and giveaways. We expected to see hordes of 30-somethings with their kids but everybody seemed to be in our age group, or older. It says something about our changing habits that the Casino, once the go-to place for celebrations, now has to depend on the older generation for their survival.
Marilyn had offered to cook lunch for us all but it was decided she didn't need the worry and we went out: Jamie and Nera, Zenaida (Nera's Mum) and Chrislin, (Nera's sister). It was a great outing: the food was good and there was a good singer who enjoyed the same sort of music as I do. She even asked us to join in the chorus of Simon and Garfunkel's The Boxer - how esoteric.
I looked forward to the giveaways but discovered they were only given away to those who invested $50 in the pokies. Oh, well - a $200 Bunnings voucher would have been nice but I gave the pokies up years ago and don't want to re-visit that particular bad habit.
