2 day turn around
I’ve decided to (try and) update this more regularly, since I always forget what I’ve been up to, so here it is, a 2 day turn around on diary posts for the first time in ages! (I think)
So what’s so ground breakingly fantastic that I’ve decided to update the blog to convey the news to you, my readership of approximately 10 people per day, well I can tell you : Precisely Nothing.
But then you were kind of expecting that weren’t you.
Anyway, here’s a rundown of the recent mundanity.
Yesterday I sorted lots of stuff out, like a plane to Bratislava, and a train to Manchester (from London). I also played some poker (I’m getting right back into playing cash games, and ended up another $12 up after moving back up to the $0.25 BB (it’s only my third session since I started playing again, but the aim is to be rolled for $0.50BB by January)).
I made two awful calls, but overall it worked out for me, since it gave me the reputation of a maniac who couldn’t get pushed off a hand, and I promptly set about stealing all my money back again (though I actually sucked out with the first awful call). It’s fair to say that I need to relearn one or two things, but finding cash games again has been great, I MUCH prefer them to tournaments - and I’ve generally been playing well.
After which I was pretty wired, so didn’t go to bed until ridiculously late, and even then wasn’t sleepy.
Today I’ve been (trying to) work from home. I’ve decided that it’s too cold here during the day (and I can’t afford to have the heating on all the time) so until I get myself a room heater (so I can just heat one room at a time - Sarah has offered me the use of hers, which is currently in Saint Helens. Hmmm. I never thought about this before, but is Saint Helens officially spelt with the abbreviation St. or in full like I’ve just written it, only I’ve never ever seen it written in full… ) I’ll probably be working more from the office.
My office will not go to waste though, since when it gets to spring time and the all important summertime (when I should be writing up and working very long days) it will be invaluable.
I could now add another paragraph explaining how I’m off to play badminton tonight and then meeting up with Sarah, but I don’t really see the point since I lost most of you during the poker paragraphs, and the rest of you during the office one. Oh.
Tarra for now. I won’t update tomorrow as I’m out having a meal, or on saturday because of the same reason. But maybe (and no promises here) just maybe, I’ll see you all on Sunday again.
Bye.

I still prefer tournaments, me

you need to change the name field when you post comments, rosy.

We didn’t see you on Sunday, then. But you’ll probably be forgiven, as it wasn’t a promise…
As for Saint Helens - what Saints do you see written in full?? Most are just St., so I think it is really Saint Helens. That said, the council website doesn’t have it in full. I’m not sure!

You didn’t lose me!
St. Albans, St. Helens…it’s all good.
