The odds of that, huh?

'You're not Mia's Dad, I am'
Here we go again, I think. Another teenager gonna make some wisecracks about Mia's parentage.
'Yawn' I reply.
'Sorry, don't get me wrong m8, I have a daughter called Mia also'
'OK'
'Yeah, she was 2 and a half last week'
'Really' I reply 'My Mia was two and half last week also'
'Yeah, on 9th April'
'Wow, My Mia was born on 10th'
So it continues, it turns out that his Mia was born about 10 hours before my Mia.
And we meet at a Poker table 30months later...... The odds of that, huh?

Decided to play in the Ladbrokes $3k guaranteed using 700 of my poker player points as the entry fee. I'd bumped into Juice on a cash table 10mins before it was due to start and he asked if I was playing. (I've been wondering what to do with those points!)
Anyway, decided to enter and managed to scrape into 14th place, though quite how I got that far I'll never know. Hit a flush early on that got paid off, but only had one premium pair in my 4 hours of play (QQ) and hit AK and AQ twice each. My all in with 44 beat a call from AK and I can't remember seeing much more action, other than the odd steal. I think my patience and steady play over the last 2 weeks paid off here.
OK, paid off to the tune of 27$, but it all counts and my laddies account now sits at 80$ up for the month.
Bodog briefly increased to 121$ before I lost a buy in to an unlucky river and currently stands at 111$ - not bad from a 10$ start :-)

Hit the park yesterday, though I decided to have the picnic indoors first, as the ground was too wet. Mia was a bit sniffly most of the afternoon and looks like a full blown cold is on the way judging from the stuff exiting her nasal passages this morning. It was wellies on and 100mph as usual, but she loves it so much and I got some great pictures on the digi-camera. Gonna have an indoor play day today with these sniffles, though a bit of fresh air is probably what she needs. Trapped in a house with heating on etc etc probably isn't the best, but when it's cold outside, I don't fancy taking her out and making things worse. Shame, as it's a lovely sunny day.

Toodle Pip, enjoy your weekend, it's nearly over!
