Christmas

Flew back to a freezing England for christmas for 10 days, which is never enough time to get settled really, but was good to get back, and the rush to fit in as many people/friends etc.. was the usual.

one of the highlights was seeing my great friends katie and rich with their new and first addition Lucas...who is the sweetest thing in the world and had the honour of being able to hold the little man for many many hours...welcome young sir

other highlights included taking a casino to the cleaners and even winning on blackjack, a game of which i have never played before, and kinda had to watch other players to understand the rules, yet i still won about £30...and have never been happier with earning so much money in my life...until however, down to my last £1 of the night, actually, it was borrowed from jayne, on the roulette table, i put my chip on number 20, and bearing in mind thaty there are 36 numbers on a roulette table, on my last pound, the ball actually landed on 20...and we won £36...we made a hasty and slightly giggly (i have to say) exit. there were some big players in there, all very serious, but that £36 was the most fun ever.
