Recovered...

Almost...
I'm on day 12 of my 12 days of working in a row now and I'm absolutely knackered!!!
GB9 last weekend was though on me mentally and physically.
But am happy with how things went in general.
Sunday went really well in the end...
I have to say that 1 hour and 15 minutes for a race to 9 is very tight and very difficult!
In the morning I started panicking a bit cause we were not running on time and I didn't have a ref to help me out with shot clocks....
But the more we got into the day the more I was catching up on the schedule.
Even better: The final started 45 minutes early!!!

Just want to congratulate:
Darren Appleton on winning the Main Event!
Mark Gray on winning the Pro Cup!
Adam Smith on winning the Challenge Cup!

People might have noticed that I was a bit distracted and I'd like to apologise for that...
Things have not been easy lately but I am loving the new job.
Am just missing my friends and London can be very lonely if you don't know anyone yet...
But things will improve hopefully once I get out of the training room and onto the floor at work...

Looking forward to next week when the floor's mine!!!
Oh and I'm moving again this weekend!
LOL to the room next door that's bigger and a bit more expensive but it's worth it!
I'll be able to move around my room a bit more, I'll have more space for my stuff and work a bit easier on GB9 and PokerStars stuff....

See you all soon!!!

Love ya all!

Day 4 in London...

Still struggling to fall asleep at night! It's doing my head in!
Need to get my pattern normal soon because I'll be starting work on Monday 9 AM...

Been walking around in the area and keep taking a different street to explore.. So many things to discover but the problem is that I'll never remember where what is lol...
Do know that I like city life...
Just need to start meeting people and start work...

Craig says we're playing pool next week Tuesday and Thursday... Let's see if he manages to keep to that promise.. LOL... He needs the practice more than me!
Need to find a home club though so I think we're trying out the Mile End Club first...

Almost done with the unpacking.. Still can't find my remote for the digi-box! Got the one for the TV though... Gonna relax a bit and hopefully fall asleep tonight!

Love,

Shir

Day 2 in London...

Pffff it's sooooo hot!!!
Don't feel like doing any unpacking or stuff...
Didn't fall asleep until 6 this morning.. Always struggle falling asleep in a strange bed... That's why I'm no good at one-night stands lol!

OK so I moved yesterday... Just want to thank Ste again for the driving and the carrying!!! Love ya and you're a great friend!!!
The Farewell weekend in Barnsley consisted of a lot of laughs, fun, dancing, drinking and flirting! Really enjoyed it and will miss you all loads!!!
For the people that couldn't make it or just couldn't be bothered.... Your loss! LOL (Still love you all though)
I'll be back for a visit and a few drinks soon!

Got into the flat yesterday, met 2 out of the 3 flatmates... 3rd one was in his room all day! Watching TV or a movie... Still not seen him now...
There's JB (Jean-Baptiste), french guy as you could have guessed from the name.. He let me in, introduced himself and went into his room... Think he's quite a quiet guy... Got told he works in IT.
Then there's Heather, Student and works part-time.. Travels a lot, she's Canadian. Really nice girl. Asked her a bit about how the flat works and she told me that's they're all quite easy going and all do their own thing...
Cleaner comes every week or close to a week...
Thank god I don't have to clean much then exept when I've cooked or my own room.
Got the internet working ;)
Most important thing off course!
TV itself work but not got the cable to go from the tv point in the wall to the digi-box... Will have to get it tomorrow I think...

After making the bed up and unpacking some of the essentials I decided to go and look for food...
Found a curry house and ordered myseld a nice Lamb Saag.. Mushroom rice and some garlic Naan and my meal was complete! It's was nice so I will definately come back!

It's weird how quiet it is here.. I am so close to so many different big/busy streets and all I can hear at the moment is the wind rustling through the leaves of the trees... Not heard a sirene or a scream all night! I'm liking it here!

Tomorrow registering with the doc and then I'll probably have a walk around town to see what's where...

See you all later!!

Love,

Shir

London
