On a Thursday I play Mahjong with the ladies from my games group. We play in a beautiful restaurant in City Beach overlooking the ocean. We meet for breakfast first and then get down to playing. I’m only just learning so I come away with a frazzled brain!
I thought this photo was perfect for Cee’s Choose a Topic from my Photo, which I took just this morning.

The blue of the ocean, waves, rocks, people, and coastline – nearly covered it!

Mahjong is a great game, haven’t played it for ages but love it. And with your friends in such a wonderful place. Sounds perfect.
Its a very complicated game! But am enjoying it so far
What a great place to play any game. I’m not a Majong player, I stick to Canasta but I can be fanatic about this once I start.
Thanks Marie, yes a couple of the ladies play Canasta as well
What a splendid idea and a lovely venue. We have a Mahjong set but I think we only tried to play once and it’s been gathering dust ever since!
It would be very hard to learn straight out of the box, there are places here that do lesson courses.
That sounds a good idea. I expect loads of people have got sets and are clueless like us!
Maybe, I wouldn’t think they are cheap either. It’s great exercise for the brain anyway
What a beautiful setting for playing Mahjong. I play every Friday with a group of friends. Based on your setup, it looks like you play the Chinese version. We play the National Mahjongg League version, which has cards, with designated ‘hands’ that can be created. Either way, it stimulates the brainwaves and makes time with friends even more fun!
My brain is very stimulated for sure! Yes definitely the Chinese version and I’m only just getting used to the pictures and words, pungs and chows and always get them mixed up..Chungs and pongs!
What a great way to start the day- breakfast, games, friends, and a great view of the water-couldn’t ask for anything better! 🙂
Yes I’m very lucky thanks 😎
How civilised 😊 We have a beating Mahjong set but still don’t know how to play this game, perhaps we should make an effort to learn
A couple of friends had lessons first and are teaching the rest of us.
Beautiful photo for this week. 😀
Gorgeous place for a day out with the girls.
It is we are very spoilt here in WA
lovely time with friends! the ocean is just beautiful! 🙂
Yes it’s incredible
Thanks Lola
Sounds like a fun idea to meet up and play regularly like this – and in such a pretty place too!
Thanks for your comments Sarah, it’s something I look forward to every week, especially the breakfast!
I was a little confused when I read winter but quickly remembered where you live. The blues look so beautiful! And it is a little strange to me to see you all not wearing masks. Lucky you in that side of the world.
That’s why I love Perth always a blue sky and nearly always sunny
Beautiful ocean!!
