"The Downswings of Property and Poker"

I saw this on Sunday at the local sport shop in Leigh on Sea and wonder if Ireland shirts would have been discounted if England scored another Try?

Wouldn't wear one if you paid me. #bitterWelshman

Probably trying to shift it before the Rugby World Cup kits come out.

I saw an article that Rightmove had predicted that house prices could well rocket again by 30% by 2019 which means that despite some negative claims that the housing market was beginning to slow down which would mean that the average property in London would be £715'000 and in the rest of England and Wales an average of £315'000.

Unsurprisingly  (in before Arbboy) the biggest rise will be in the South East (inwards oioi) but also areas such as Southampton, Luton (god knows why), Brighton, Swindon and Enfield and in some seperate press I saw experts at Oxford Economics calculated that Southampton would see an increase of 43% over that 5 years and Luton and Brighton seeing average gains of £41'000 so if you are living in those areas or looking to invest in property then these could be areas you focus your search on.

West London will see growth at a slower rate only growing at 13% with Carlisle, Lancaster, Manchester and Northampton also showing slow growth but Enfield which was previously one of the cheaper areas in London is predicted to show potential growth of 39.5%.

To get the figures Rightmove based their assumptions on property and economic data rather than short term market factors and opinions with a director saying "Alongside the publication of the monthly house price index which is based on new sellers asking prices they have used other sources of property data and property transaction prices at a very local level.


Well worth looking at the up and coming areas around the popular ones for anyone looking to invest in property as opposed to paying inflated prices for the actual hotspots.

Petra has recently took up a challenge to blog on her website for 30 days in a row after a seminar she went on and her blog is one of the underused parts of her business website http://photographybypetra.co.uk/section622020.html and I think it is because English is not her spoken language so she doesnt feel she has anything interesting to say or is worried about the grammar side of it so I told her not to worry and just write about things within her industry or shoots that she has recently done.

I think she has done really well in the first few days and made her pick some of the topics in advance so she knows what to write about for the next few days.

She has recently started doing "Birth Photography" which is where she is with the parents to be from the onset of advanced labour and photo's in a reportage style and there is no one locally who offers this type of photography which can obviously be pretty time consuming when you think how long labour can be.

Petra was drawn to it after a conversation at a seminar and then she found this blog http://epicdangerblog.com/index.php/2013/12/why-i-never-wanted-a-birth-photographer-personal/ about a lady who had 2 kids and decided to try a birth photographer for the third child, the video towards the bottom of the page is pretty moving but shows the reasons why people will get this style of photography as she catches the touches and moments that get lost in the birth itself.

So she offered on her facebook page the opportunity for 5 women to receive the service free of charge as long as Petra could blog about it and they were prepared to be interviewed afterwards by the local press alongside Petra so that she could gain some free editorial and within 2 hours she had booked the shoots with the first one taking place this week just gone however unfortunately despite the lady starting labour on Sunday evening she didnt ask Petra to go round even though she was ready and at 1am Monday morning she said she would call Petra in the morning when the midwife came back (she wanted a home birth) but when she eventually contacte Petra she was so far gone that she delivered whilst Petra was en route and a lesson was learnt by all.

Petra still did some shots though and if you are not squeemish as some shots are a touch graphic of the Placenta then here is a slideshow of the first one http://www.kizoa.com/slideshow-maker/d19294378k7394455o1/marni-thomas albeit a time consuming part of her business it is very lucrative with London photographers doing this achieving over £1000 per shoot.

Update below for backers...

Play 2 pots 1st level losing 2k when flop a set of 10s on QJ10 5ss K vs Trevor Pearson then open 88mp to 250 @ 50/100 with unknown Btn 3betting to 550 which just we call to see JJ10 which we check call 750 turn brings a 2 and action goes chk chk and on 6 river villain bets 3100 which I call beating AK so have 26500 at start of level 2
Lose 3k with KQss on Btn vs utg open on KK5 102 just calling down the streets losing to AK

Nothing of note in 3rd level but got 27.6k at the end of level 3 going back to 150/300/75 and the 2 good players on the table (not me) have 20bbs each on a fairly decent table so hope we don't break.
