Bridge

Reality bites

So the second round of the women’s pairs wasn’t quite so fab dahling. Indeed it was a little bit average.  Even below average.  However we did have some good boards among the dross – most of those gifts – thank you opposition.

And there was some dross.

Here’s one of the less successful bidding sequences…

Board 23: I open 2NT (21-22 flat) Partner holds:

S A75
H 2
D J93
C QJ9742

Partner bids 3C, asking for majors.  She wants to rule out a 5-3 spade fit.

I bid 3D, yes I have a four card major.

Here’s my hand:

S KJ
H AQ84
D KQ2
C AK65

So how do we get to 6C?  Or even maybe 6NT?

After discussion and given our lack of transfers to minors over 2NT, we figured it was probably going to end up being a punt. Maybe partner could bid 3C, then over my 3D, 5C to show long clubs, and then I guess 6C.

Or maybe we try cue raises… 3C – 3D – 4C – 4H (showing AH) – 4S (showing AS) – then maybe I’m thinking slam… either that or horribly confused. 🙂

Are you a bridge player?  What would you do?  Tell me your nifty convention. 🙂

A Spot of Bother

By Mark Haddon, author of bestseller The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

A Spot of Bother is a story of ordinary people. George, in his sixties has retired, his wife, Jean is having an affair. Their daughter Katie is marrying someone they don’t particularly like and their son Jamie is homosexual, which they are having difficulty coming to terms with.

George has mental health problems which are manifesting. He is convinced a spot of eczema is cancer and that trips him out. Katie doesn’t know if she loves Rae or not, Jamie can’t tell his boyfriend he loves him. And Jean is wrestling with her conscious over the affair.

It’s a charming novel. A little sad. A little bit funny.
One can check the worth of a drug levitra generic cheap http://amerikabulteni.com/2011/10/19/cumhuriyetci-adaylarin-las-vegas-bulusmasi-secim-yarisinda-tansiyonu-yukseltti/ store through its terms & condition, privacy policy, medicine stock, price and delivery related services.

It can spread cancerous cells elsewhere in the body allowing proper flow of blood to the genital organ order generic levitra amerikabulteni.com in males.
What I love about Mark’s writing is that he gets inside the heads of his characters so well you feel what they do. You are there inside George’s head as he slowly goes up the wall and it feels like a true insight.

It’s not a hard read, perhaps not for kiddies if you’re concerned about sex scenes, but it is a thought provoking one.

And surprisingly, quite the page-turner.

Groover, Work

Dressing up

dressing upReading Thirdcat’s post today about Opinionated Boy and his decision or not to wear a pink skirt reminded me of the orchid hunter aged 2.

I had gone back to work and OH was cared for at my cousin’s house where we shared a nanny. My cousin has 3 kids the youngest about 2 years older than OH but they are in consecutive years (you get it? She has a birthday in January, OH is in November).

Somehow we had been given a dress – one of those tough Osh Gosh stripey ones – and OH decided he desperately wanted to wear it. I was in my new mother – I’m not going to be freaked out by gender stereotypes moments – and said sure darling – and off we went.

Yes this is the child who threw his “On the Road” book – out the window on to the actual road.

Pictured: a flashback to 2002 (and a very old camera) to my two darlings dressing up in my old ballgowns. OH would be about 6 here.

My new Australian domain name

The flag flying at EnnuinFollowing Meg’s excellent advice on Blogpond, I decided to invest in the Aussie version of my domain name. I am as you know an Australian, blogging in Perth and I thought well really I should represent that, although I do like the simplicity of a dot com.

So now you can find this very blog at redsultana.com.au, and if you forget the .au, you find me as well.

For the record, the domain name cost me $27.95 for two years at Intaserve.

A joke

I was at the launch of the Australian Open Garden Scheme’s WA season tonight and Tammy Fraser, wife of the former PM and president of the scheme, told a lovely joke which I thought I’d share with you…

The mother superior of a convent was worried. She called her community of nuns together and said: “Sisters, I have grave news. We have found a case of Gonorrhea here in our convent…”

Blogging

All women blogging carnival

I’m participating in the All Women Blogging Carnival on AbsoluteLeigh. A blog carnival is a collection of blogs with a similar theme or at least something in common – in this case – yes 10 points for working it out – all written by women. I guess it’s a way to read some new blogs… Meanwhile women were left in the cold & Flu aisle that are homeopathic. viagra cialis for sale The reliability levitra line pharmacy of a drugstore should be checked before getting any deal as many counterfeit websites are also available.

It seemed… appropriate.

Travel

Footprint

Tree Planting at RottoOur Rottnest trip to plant trees with the Rottnest Society was a great success.  Not only did the weather (after torrential and constant rain on Friday night) turn out to be beautiful, but the chance to reduce our carbon footprint and to go behind-the-scenes of one of my favourite holiday destinations was priceless. We were planting Rottnest Island Pine and Melaleuca – the teatree you see around Rotto – and this year for the first time – as a trial of planting in the low heathland rather than slashing it first.  The theory being that the competition from existing plants is offset by their ability to protect the seedlings from the summer sun and high winds.

What they do is fence off an area and then trap any quokkas within the fence so to stop the young seedlings being eaten.

This means the seedlings have a better survival rate and they are much faster to plant as you don’t have to put those little plastic surrounds around them to protect them.  It also means when we started we got to do an “emu walk” which is kind of like the fingertip search you see police do on cop shows where they walk in a line across the landscape, in this case to chase any quokkas out of hiding.

It was great fun and the kids enjoyed being very loud.

Then we were allocated a patch and got to planting with hole diggers and about 9200 seedlings.  Believe it or not they all got planted in the day and a half we had.  Groover has GPS’d the location so we can find it again but I think it will be in my brain forever.  Bulldozer swamp.

In the afternoon I walked to the shops with my kids and we took the long way back around Bathurst Lighthouse to the basin. It was a calm sunny winter afternoon.  Tee-shirt weather.  We saw these enormous fish feeding near the shore and enjoyed the emptiness of Rottnest Island in winter.

It is a special place.  And my orchid hunter found a hard-to-find mosquito or gnat orchid.

Bridge, Modern Life

In bridge news…

Tonight was the first night of the BAWA Women’s Pairs.  I’m playing with the trendy one and guess what?!  No you’ll never guess… we came first tonight!

It’s not often that I get to say that… in fact I can’t remember the last time and as we’re only ahead by one point I feel it best to skite while I can. 🙂

Woooohooooo!

To be honest it was such a frantic rush today with four people sick at work that I didn’t think I would make it.  Occasional food was luckily available, and my darlings were very good to get ready so quickly and without fuss.

To Groover, stuck in bloody Karratha again, I’m sorry I took my frustrations out on you.  It’s not your fault that the client is inconvenient.

When do we get to give up full-time work?  I think it should be soon.

I’m all fired up now to play more bridge! 🙂
