So, these long nights are becoming a bit of a habit - mix that up with work and you’ve got one crazy concoction! Up at a reasonable time this morning, had breakfast and did a bit of work - yes I know I said I’d take it easy - but trust me, a bit of time on lappie saves me several hundred $’s downstairs!!

Met up with Andy and the pool and had a ‘Turkey’ club sandwich and yes, as usual they brought me out an entire turkey covered with two tiny bits of bread - man oh man, eating a sarny by the pool in the desert - not the most comfortable experience. Entered the Paris poker tourney yesterday and made it into the last 14, out again just off the money!

I played poker with Andy 3 times since I’ve been here and every time stayed in longer, but these little tourney’s are crap shoots - who gives a shit going all in with nothing - it’s only like $70 or something - I doubt Andy is playing anything but Gold at the WSOP today! - Bastard - Just had a phone call from Andy- ‘What’s the number for Virgin Atlantic, we’re off home’ - WHAT? Oh, your only joking, right, funny - from the sounds of it Andy is in good shape over at the Rio.

No gambling today - absolutely none and I feel great - shopping tomorrow if I get time and fancy getting myself scorched!

Yesterday was another relax day, getting prepared for the big event today!
