Sorry it's been quiet in here over the last week.
First of all, thanks for all the congratulations for my small bink in the £150; and sorry to Alex from whom I stole the limelight for ten, maybe twenty minutes in between trophies.
Sunday was a really frustrating day online. Normally I bust a ton of stuff in the early/mid stages and run deep in one or two, even if it's just for a bowl. This week I had something like 15 tables open at once at rush hour and bricked everything. Mincashed the bigger $22 and the bigger $55 for some consolation. This hand cheered me right up though:

A few of us finally got a kickabout together on Monday, on this 7-a-side pitch. Pretty sick cage actually, loads of fun even though I sucked. It was wet and slippery, so plenty of bails for entertainment. Our team got killed 'cause they had stato in goal and nothing gets past him. Hope this will be a regular thing, and fingers crossed I'll be able to walk after any future sessions.
Tuesday I got the new Pokemon game for DS, so obviously had to take another night off.
Wednesday I set off to London for a weekend of shopping, with no budget, wanted to come back with sweats, hoodies, polos and jumpers. Walked into Abercrombie, where I was a little worried I might spend my net wealth, and walked out with some boxers. And that was about all I came back with, other than some starfruit from Harrod's. The main event though, was going to see
Portico Quartet at the Roundhouse. Very difficult to describe their style, and their recordings simply don't do justice to their incredible live performances.
Heading to the gym in a moment, and might flick it in for the £150 at Dusk later. I feel like winning another tournament so I can take another week off.
