Friday was my first traditional Anzac Day. By this, I mean it was the first time I went to a pub, got pissed and played two-up. I will be doing it again, it was great fun. I went to the Clovelly Hotel with Mel and Cath etc. The hotel had constructed a stadium around the two-up ring; a two-up arena. We achieved prime positions right on the edge of the ring, and we stayed there for three hours. I started with $5 in my ‘betting pocket’ and finished with $20. This might not seem like such a great achievement, but it was good when you factor in that all my food and drinks were paid for out of the gambling pocket it comes out looking alright. I got an afternoon’s worth of great entertainment for free, and I bought dinner with the profit.
