Happy New Year

I've had to sign in to rid myself of the amazing amount of spam which, for no apparent reason, appears to have started flying my way.

I know that just about the only real person that looks at this blog (including me) is dD, God bless him, so this short update is dedicated to my most loyal and only reader. Thanks mate. I wish I was as loyal in return .

I miss playing poker regularly. The steady road upwards with the predictable stumbles which felt like total disasters at the time, but weren't. The cut and thrust of the game, the highs the lows, the sense of community with other bloggers.

But those days have gone. I'm now spending my time catching up with every episode of House and Lie to Me, and Larkrise to Candleford's back on now, so that's the rest of the winter and spring lost on a Sunday night (ref previous posts :p).

I do play occasionally, but losing doesn't hurt, which means I'm inevitably going to lose in the long term. No discipline in my game equals no game at all.

Anyway, happy new year to anyone that is connected to a human brain rather than a spam bot. January 26th isn't too late to say that is it? ;)

All the best :)
