So yesterday I was at the checkout with few things when the customer behind me said “ 12 items?” Well it made me think. Yes I did buy 5 apples, two avocados 2 litres of milk, peas, ham, blueberries and strawberries and yes sausages but I had to buy the two fo4 one offer so at the end of the day, yes a basketful but am I a basket case? I don’t th8nk so.yesterday my place only Bet was $1o fixed so happy with that and I was confident it wouldn’t win, yet almost certain it would place. I am in transit to Melbourne today with meetings to attend with the website team, CrownBet, Rod Cleary and clients and John Furgal on Monday before my return. I expect to experience heat, rain, wind so as many as four seasons on any day as is usual in that loveliest of cities. It is a pity that Ros couldn’t make it as she continues to recuperate from her two knee replacements but progress is being made and Belle and Natalie will be assisting over the weekend as well as the twins who have promised to make less mess while they are there. No time for me to assess a place Bet today but back on the job tomorrow before my first meeting. It’s interesting that as trial subscription numbers rise the dividends aren’t being affected so far.
