I picked up Sienna this morning and we headed out to Ipswich Museum to see the Creepy Crawlies exhibition for kids.

We had a blast of a time!

They had a bug and a butterfly walking around..

And a GIANT BUTTERFLY on stilts!

Unfortunately, the kids were rather worried about this giant butterfly and once we were back inside the museum Sienna was pleased he was too tall to come in. But that didn’t stop him walking right up to the window and looking in at the kids.

There was a big bug the kids could climb up into and back out his mouth. Sienna went on that about 20 times until I had to pull her off it Not many kids were keen on leaving that one!

A girl was making fun balloon shapes for the kids. Sienna got a bug, although she says it’s not a bug, it’s a turtle. We were the last ones in line and after that they weren’t making any more.

Sienna and I made our own bug badge. Sienna was really pleased with it.

We finished up after 12ish and grabbed some Red Rooster meals and ate them on the way home.

Right now we have a thunderstorm outside but as yet not much in the way of rain. My fingers are crossed.

Last night I was in the Queensland Poker Events Grand Final Poker Tournament. I arrived at 5pm and had some food. I asked the girl at the counter what “Salt and Vinegar Chicken” was about. She said “It’s yummy.. it’s got..”. I said “Oh I don’t care what’s in it.. just so long as it’s yummy” She laughed and gave it to me. I asked for a bottle of Victoria Bitter. She said “Do you want a glass?”. I said “Only if that makes it taste yummy!”. She said she didn’t know as she always just drinks it from the bottle. I said “How uncouth!” and she laughed again.

A few of my friends from IJs club turned up so I chatted to them until Signup began at 6pm. I lined up about 2 mins past 6pm and the line was already out the front door. Took me 15 mins to get to sign up. I was given Table 3 and went back to my friends, telling them they’d better sign up soon. They went off and I found another friend to chat to until they were finished.

We went in at 7pm and played. You will be able to read a more detailed report on my Poker Blog later today or tomorrow. Suffice to say I got a table with a friend of mine from IJs. We had been assigned a table by the hosts and were the only two from IJs there, so it was great we got to sit together and talk. She didn’t last long in the game, though. Not long after the break she was out so went to watch her mum and sister play at opposite ends of the room.

I finished 32nd out of 220 people. If I reached 30 I would have won a carton of XXXX beer. Oh well, I would have had to carry it home on the bus and train, so not too bad I missed out. Anyways.. it’s XXXX after all so no great loss lol! I got my card holder token and a copy of Bluff Australia magazine. I stayed to watch some friends finish playing then headed off at 10pm to catch a bus and train to get home at 11:15pm
