I decided to stay with Fiona and Kim's Aunt Jill and Unlce Trevor for a couple days, so after Fiona and I went shopping, she dropped me off with her aunt. Wednesday night is Bingo night for her and Janet, so I tagged along. I figured I would rather get out of the house and hang out with some Aussies - even if it was with old people at a Bingo Night! It ended up being a lot of fun. Their aunt and cousins also came, so it was a big group of people at our table. We played 30 games and it was going alright up until the 25th game, when I won!!! Yes, me...the girl who nevers wins at games involving luck. I actually won...my heart was racing thinking I somehow made a mistake, but they confirmed it and handed me my $50!!! I could not believe it. After that, I was so glad I went. We just hung out at the club for the rest of the night until about 11pm. It was great to hear all kinds of stories about them growing up in Australia and also stories about the UK where half their family still lives.
This family is such a nice and open family - reminds me of the Durnans and Knutsons. They are constantly inviting family, friends, extended friends, etc into their homes when there are in town. And they all seem to enjoy having visitors, so they have made me feel very welcome.
So the pool part of my blog...I'm not sure if I mentioned this in an earlier blog or not, but the pool tables here are so different from ours. They play with smaller balls and tables than the regulation sizes in America. It is a little hard for me to play since I am used to larger tables and bigger ball sizes. Jill and Trevor have one in their house, so maybe I will just practice here for a couple days!
Yes, I finally uploaded all my pictures - check them out!
