Playin' Poker

From Poker at Alan...
Last Friday, for the second time, I played Poker with Kevin (my colleague from work), Vinnie (Kevin's brother), Paschal and Alan. After Kevin's place in Randburg last time this week Alan, his wife Nola, two dogs and a cat hosted us in Edenvale.

See you next time guys!
