Even Stevens ... Almost

16 December – Staying over at Chez Collins (despite it really being Chez Mills) is always such a pleasure.  Where else will I be woken up with a coffee (and a Berocca, my first one – I don’t really know if it works that well but it was there and that’s the main thing).  As Kate told me with great reverence once, I need a wife.  Well, maybe not one of those – but certainly a coffee maker wouldn’t go astray.  A bit of zen and the art of bicycle maintenance ensued and some body maintenance at the Andrew James Healing Centre which was not as effective as it could have been.  Found a new free (albeit pretty weak) wifi signal at the edge of Newtown and Redfern before heading back to the house for a few rounds of low stakes poker.  Thankfully had Robespiere to take control of the game and he inevitably snatched the first round with protestations of ‘trying to lose’.  The obnoxious one was doing his best to be obnoxious but luckily there were a few effective controls to keep him from going too far – very useful.  All in all, almost even stevens in terms of gambling which makes for pretty cheap entertainment overall.
