Snow, gambling
We went to a casino resort at the weekend. I have never been to a casino before, and I went mostly for the ambience (and research, since my current fanfic project has a character that gambles in it). It was fun! I mean, the slot machines are terrifying good at eating money, and it is a little scary seeing all the little psychological tricks they apply to get you to put in more and more (the visuals of the gradually building 'bonus' are so tempting), but I had a good time.
The casino also had a big spa-like swimming pool, which was pretty cool.
We drove around four hours to get to this place, which is a long drive for me and a short drive for Americans! But then it started snowing the day we travelled back, turning that journey into a six-hour ordeal. I was very proud of P for getting us home safely (he drove the whole way).
I have been invited to a third stage interview next week--we shall see if this one comes off.
