The grind is on hold

So my grind kind of comes to an end today for a while. I'm heading up to Barry's tomorrow in Edinburgh to meet up with him and Pureklas/Chris. Barry wrote in his blog a little while back about going and living somewhere for a while. The plan at the moment is to live in Melbourne, and us three are going to discuss it all and work things out in the next couple of days.

After that I'm driving back home via my friend Scott's house in Hartlepool. He's just split up with his girlfriend that he lived with and is pretty down about it all. The plan is to go there for a day or two and then bring him back down to mine for a while. It's a mate's birthday on the 9th and then me, Scott, and another friend Alex are going to go away from the 13th-16th somewhere.

This means that between now and the 16th I won't be grinding as much as I'd like, but I will be doing life stuff which some people would say is more important. I should get some hands in though as I'll play a bit when Scott's just staying at mine. Maybe I'll try and teach him.

I think we're hoping to head to Australia at the end of August/beginning of September, but I could be wrong on that. Either way, it looks like I'll probably make a new plan/set of goals once I'm out there to accomodate the fact that I'm not in Swanwick 24/7 and that there are better things to do than just play poker.
