24 August 2010 : Written by A Camping Ninja
We all had our p p p p p p p p poker faces on tonight for a game of Camping Poker. After our game of Camping Twister the other week, I hope you're not thinking that we're game addicts, like we've launched ourselves into this camping casino or something, because that's not the case. Far from it in fact, as there's not a croupier or roulette table in sight. Although Suzie has been dressed like she works in a casino today. I thought it was weird at the time but I didn't want to say anything about it in case she was doing some kind of casino role play or something, but I think it was just an odd choice of fashion – waistcoat and a bow tie for camping – not exactly Millets best seller!
Huddled together in one of our tents the clandestine meeting began under the dimmed, low light of a flickering old torch hanging from the centre pole in the roof. To be honest, I could barely see!
Tensions were running high but with all bets placed, there could only be one winner. Yes!! I cried out, as I jumped up for joy – hitting my head on the roof of the tent and knocking the flickering torch sideways, creating an almost strobe lighting effect as I swept my winnings of the last Rolo into my ninja knapsack. Ummmm – I'll save that one for a rainy day I thought.....
1:32am – I don't hear any pitter pattering on the roof but just going to have a little peek outside to see if it's raining.....
Nope, not that rainy day just yet.
4:13am – Searching in the dark to try and get the Rolo out of my ninja knapsack. It's no good, I can't resist it anymore. Am going to have to eat it right now!
