Whew, it’s been another incredibly busy week and I’m so glad it’s finally the weekend. I’m definitely ready to relax and although for me that means working on my novel, possibly going on a walk and just chilling out, I’m often completely amazed at how much the gambling and gaming industries are such a big deal here in the UK. The nice thing is, it doesn’t seem to have the negative connotations that it has in the States and there are bookie shops all over the place as well as lots of gambling/gaming websites online.
I’m always amused and somewhat intrigued by the idea of online gaming for money and although I would never consider playing poker or any other sort of card game, I keep wondering if I would enjoy playing Bingo online as it seems to be so incredibly popular. bet36 Bingo are having a Winter Wonderland promotional competition for their online gaming site for Bingo and it seems like it’s worth a look to see how Bingo is played online here in the UK… who knows, if I entered I might actually win a bit of money and, believe me, with the way the market is going and costs are rising, I could certainly use it!
All in all, whether I’m bemused by the gambling culture or just sleeping through the weekend, I’m quite happy that it’s Friday and I have a couple of days to myself!
