Poker, Snakes & Disco Ladders

Poker last night was less successful that I had hoped it would be, still an enjoyable evening, but having gambled £1200* and only won £600* it was at least 100% less successful that it could have been....though also 100% more successful than it could have been. Still, only having 4 players meant I was at least home and into bed by a sensible time, around 12:30....which is perfect for a 5am start

In to work for an overtime shift today, which as you can imagine after around 4 hours sleep is not exactly the greatest fun. The advantage of an overtime shift though being that you get 150% of the pay for around 47% of the effort......48% if pushed really hard

Having enjoyed myself so much today though :-/ I decided that it would be a great idea to volunteer to work the early shift tomorrow as well....and tomorrow there's no room for laziness, I'm aiming for a solid 50-60% effort

Something I always find funny is people that have broken down on the motorway.....that firstly park neatly between the lines on the hardshoulder, as opposed as far to the left as possible, I appreciate this is instinctive and not a conscious decision but this makes it no less silly, but then they refuse to get out of the car.

There are people, far too many people, that believe they are safer in their car than behind a barrier so they just stay where they are. I am regularly told that they are safer in the car because it will protect them from harm because 'its metal isn't it'. I was once told by someone that he was safer in his car during a storm, despite visibility and road conditions being treacherous, because if he stands near a tree on the bank, he'll get struck by lightning. I believe there are times when there's a valid case for involuntary euthanasia

Home from work and into Peppa Pig dominos and snakes & ladders with Jac and Amelia, both of which she's far too good at.....I may have to enter her into the Snakes & Ladders World Championships

The afternoon was finished off with a trip to the kids disco, Amelia spent most of the time standing with Jac and I, but obviously got fully into dancing 5 minutes before we needed to leave

I can feel an early night coming on as tomorrow is another early start, so ill end here with some pictures. A stonking offer from Asda, Life of Pi supermarket edition and a sensible road warning










Bye bye for now
