Dinner

We went out to dinner again last Thursday evening at The County Club Casino but no gambling as we don't do that.  This was our second visit for dinner this month at the Links Restaurant at the Casino.  This time I took photos of the restaurant.  It's larger than shown.


The sweet bar above and the cold and hot buffet bar at the back.



My meal and it's a buffet.  I have roast pork at the back of the plate, it's rather a mixture but it was beautiful.
A snap of myself at home before we left to go to the Casino.  This is another celebration for my 80th birthday, think I've finished celebrating.  We went to eldest sister in laws after dinner and arrived home at 1.30am, was in bed by 1.45am, up late the next morning so didn't feel tired.

  1. Margaret, you look beautiful, and you have such a lovely smile! I don't gamble either, but the food at this place looks great! I love roast pork. I am glad you had such a wonderful celebration for your 80th birthday! So happy that you got adequate sleep afterwards as well, dear friend. Thank you so much for sharing your life here, I really enjoy your posts.

    1. Thank you Linda. I don't often share personal things however I feel it's a good idea to do it occasionally. We've been celebrating birthdays, anniversary from the end of April to end of May, so time for a break of celebrating, next birthday is June then July where one daughter in law and a sister in law's birthdays are on the same day. The latter will turn 70.

    1. Thank you Denise. The jumper is lovely and warm for winter, I didn't buy that one online which is good, well I think it is. For me the food was tasty,

    1. Thank you EC. There is plenty of parking at the Casino and we can always get rather close to the side door, of course in summer it's harder as more people tend to go out for meals.

  9. Well it is certainly a mixture.
    Are those two on shells - your famous oysters??
    I regret to say that I do play the machines - last week a big win.
    But I no longer bet on the horses - eventually saw the light on that one,
    so only on Australia's Unofficial Public Holiday - the day that stops the nation - the
    Melbourne Cup!
    A week of picking my first four as i have shown you and your viewers.
    Lovely day here - now 3 days rainless! Miracles do happen and Terrigal
    beach is spotless - I was told the 3-4 kilometers was done overnight.
    No doubt complaints from the whinging brigade!!!
    Cheers and a couple of beers - ha ha!

    1. The mixture fits on the plate without over doing it Colin. There is a lot to choose from either hot or cold, so something for everyone.
      Those in shells x 3 (one hidden) are muscles, and I love oysters too.
      Gambling in moderation nothing wrong with that, it gives you an interest along with the day that stops the nation. I wouldn't know how to bet on horse, would rather ride one.
      I'm glad the beach is spotless, always good to see a lovely clean beach, well most of them in Tasmania are.
      No rain here at all, so dry.

    2. Weather here - RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! and COLD.
      No more short pants - Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

  13. This lovely dinner outing at The Links Restaurant sounds like a joyful continuation of your 80th birthday celebrations! The buffet meal, especially the roast pork, sounds delicious, and your evening seemed filled with warmth and good company. It's great that you took photos this time to capture the experience.

    Staying out until 1:30 a.m. shows you’re truly embracing life and making the most of these special moments.

    By the way, I have a request from you. Would you like to write a special recipy of Baked Potatoes or Jacket Potatoes on your blog please?. I was inspired by many videos I have watched recently on it from fabulous Spudman and Spudbrothers in the UK as well

  19. Congratulations to you, you look really lovely. I can't believe your age. But it's also nice to see you.
    I might go hungry, because I don't eat seafood, except for fish and salmon.
    Hugs.
