How Appropriate!!


Look at the name of the wine I won last night!

It was at trivia - but it wasn't by answering questions that I won this - it was through a game of heads and tails!! I hadn't been feeling very lucky all day, but I WAS lucky that evening!!

Trivia Win(e)

It's necessary to lubricate the wheels and cogs when getting ready for trivia.
Yep - it worked!
We won a round on a tiebreaker - as it had jackpotted, we won more than the overall winner!
The question? What colour are the "g"s in "Google"? Well, I've only stared at them about a million times - I'll call all that surfing "research" - shall I?

Trivia Win

This was a definite winner tonight at trivia.
We also won a couple of rounds.
Here is Paula demonstrating how the money won from one round fits her perfectly.
This is what we won in another round - not such a good fit (note how it doesn't seem to bother Paula??)

Trivia again

Yes, it was ANOTHER trivia excursion last night - but quite different from Tuesday. Different location, different team. Met some lovely new people - Kevin, Lou, Bob, Inge - and hung out with some lovely people I already knew - David, Alyson, David, Maggie. And of course Keith and me.

Oh yes - and different result - we WON!!! In fact, we won all rounds except for the one involving trying to guess people in grainy black and white miniature photos. Round one - we won wine for the table. Round two - beer for the table. Round three - OK, let'sh paashh on the alcohol.....

Here are the grinning winners
And here's the final booty per couple -

Judging day and Trivia

This morning was the judging of the Queensland Quilters Challenge quilts - "twenty five" was the theme. I was asked to be a helper and I learned so much. More info about the challenge here.
Lots of interesting techniques and interpretations - such a privilege to get a glimpse into the creative minds of others. Of course the results are all hush hush at the moment, but here is a pic of the lovely judges, Lyn
and Sue (with Lyn and Jane - the Challenge Convenor - in the background).

This evening was our regular trivia night at the Capalaba Sports Club
- but we weren't very happy with the questions -
they kept asking things we didn't know........
I mean to say - who knows the year the London Underground opened, or the names of the tunnels in the movie The Great Escape, or where the world's largest ferris wheel is?
And if you DO know - then PLEASE join our team next time - we need you!!
