And I really don't want to. To a trivia night. It's windy and cold and I was really looking forward to veging out. A friend asked before and I said ok because it was off in the never never. Oh well. I've really socialised enough this week. Three days of golf and lunch with the golfers and golf meeting. No winning but a lot of laughs at our terrible shots. I just want to stay home and knit socks, such a granny (I wish), through actually I've never much been a going out person. I like to see something like a play or a movie but australian clubs and pubs have always been like sitting in a tiled toilet. Literally they were all tiled, I guess to wash the blood off. One of the first times I went to a pub boys were having a spitting contest up the wall.
Aussie pubs were very men places and men culture, drinking fighting, women go there now but sometimes just not very far under the surface is all the nasty stuff. Now the women do the fighting as well and the drinking. They do this thing glassing people which is putting a broken glass into someone's face. One girl did it to another a couple of years ago.
We won the trivia, with me as table leader! I must have been channelling my husband, he is really good at that stuff but he was at work.
It's cold now but we still like to have coffee at the beach.
