Long time no post, mainly because I'm really lazy. But I am going to make myself post at least once a week from now on.
My weeks holiday in Gran Canaria was fun, although i was ready to come home by the end. It was pretty hot during the day, so at times it did get a bit much with my whiter than white skin colour! If you like sunbathing and you are on a budget, it is the perfect place though. The apartments we stayed in (sol y paz) were really good value for money. No frills, but it was very clean and situated literally across the road from the Europa shopping complex. One thing I cannot stand though is the people who stand outside the restaurants trying to get you to come in. Seriously, if I want to eat at your place, then I will walk in and take a f**king seat.
Got my driving test next Wednesday and I cannot afford to fail. I'm definitely ready and consider myself a good driver, but knowing my luck a chav will walk out in front of me and I'll put my foot on the accelerator rather than the brake.
My poker playing has been limited, partly due to the fact that my Internet connection is buggered (I'm at work writing this!) and partly due to the fact that i have got a bit bored of it. I needed a break and haven't played for about 2 weeks now except the odd 15 minutes or so at Lucy's place. Every time I do play I get spanked at the moment anyway, but I'm still $800 or so up for the year. Feeling refreshed now, so think I will start playing again soon. Maybe a few tournaments to start with.
On another note, I'm thinking about taking up a bit of gardening. I feel it could be the Yin to my Yang (my Yang being drinking and gambling) . I'm no Monty Don you understand, so I cant see our place ending up like Kew gardens, but I'm sure I can improve on the current weed colony.
