I came back from the pub last night a little lighter from the poker game. The old codgers ganged up on me and shook my pockets for change.There was nearly a melt down before the game as a few people had decided to sit at the table thats used for the poker. The mumblings and grumblings as we got our drinks , curses and damnations were put on the families of those who dared to sit at the card table. Now it didn't bother me , i'd play cards on the bonnet of car but the grumpies have their set ways, the light is just right at that table, were not to near or to far from the stove and most importantly we have the perfect line of sight to give the barmaid the nod.
Needless to say the others didn't move and some even suggested they were doing it on purpose.Looking back now, anytime that table has been occupied it was by that particular crowd,
Well curse and Damnation on them and their kin! The grumpies are right or maybe I'm slowly becoming one. I got back home and was having a night cap with herself in front of the telly,which is her domain so there was a continuous flow of tripe to digest. I decided to hit the hay but she pleaded me to stay until she was ready with a curious look in her eye.Now before your minds go wandering as mine did, it wasn't that time of the year again, no it was the fact that she had put a hot water bottle in the bed and could not stand the thoughts of me getting to it before her. Now thats what I call cunning,the crafty #*!**##
On to the betting our last horse won bringing the fund up to 96euro so nearly 100% profit so far.Todays bet is 4euro on "for life" at lingfield 16.10 at nearly 7/1.
