A night out

Well, that was fun. Muzz bought tickets to a charity auction/dinner/smoozing opportunity at the Christchurch Casino in aid of the new charity hospital. Ironically the money raised was going towards sterilising women the public hospital couldn't fit in, oh and cataract operations so that made it OK. Anyone who knows me knows that I use natural medicines and homeopathy. A bit of a hang over from the hippy days, so supporting the mainstream medical community was an interesting exercise. 
Poor Muzz got the flu so rather than letting the tickets go to waste I rang around my friends and Tony agreed to come. We sat with the Simes crew and enjoyed the company very much. I think Muzz will be in trouble at work as I was encouraging another wife to travel and I think I have someone else interested in the Turkey trip I am planning, the more the merrier. 
The food was great, the wine superb and the entertainment, well that man needs therapy! It was interesting watching the auction seeing people pay so much for the offerings, all in the name of charity. 
I was thinking of the golfers I know when they auctioned a round for four including the carts and all the trimmings at Clearwater. Sorry guys, I resisted the urge to bid on your behalf, tempting though it was! 
Tony took me home and looked at the photos while I made tea, oh no sorry Jo, I might have given him the travel bug too. Gotta stop doing that to my friends. Thanks for a great night out.
