The Old Girl and I played a couple of games of pool late this afternoon, the first time since the lockdown periods in March/April this year.
We used to play a 'best of three' every Saturday night so now that she will be up here permanently we can get back to that with the odd extra day thrown in.
We opened the Rockford Sparkling Shiraz and had a glass each while playing two games and waiting for the roast dinner to cook. Sparkling Shiraz is so rich (and alcoholic) that it's a wine that isn't to be rushed so a glass each easily stretched over two frames of pool. We will have another glass each with dinner.
I like this pool room which is large enough to accommodate a three quarter snooker table and has nice bay windows that look out on views of both Mount Manaia and Mount Aubrey, the two peaks near where we live.
The new lights I put in earlier in the year make a difference. Before we had the original chandelier lights that didn't shine down properly on the table. The new 'down' lights light up the table the way that they do in snooker parlours.
Dinner is just about ready (it's been The Old Girl's turn to cook today - lucky me) so I've got to go.
I trust that you all had a great Christmas day.

Love to you both. We spent the day at brother Rod's place. It was great to catch up with his three sons - big guys now and drinking a bit too much piss. Ah well, boys will be boys. A really enjoyable Christmas. I was the sober driver so very well behaved.
Great to see a picture of "The Girl". Old deleted for unnecessary usage.
