And finally some poker...BRAG

Sunday night was a late one (thanks Mrs P) as I made 19th out of 11,152 in the Full Tilt Poker "Double Deuce" competition. I was bitterly disappointed getting knocked out when my KKwas beaten by AA after 6-7 hours of very disciplined poker. The $580 prize money wasn't to be sneezed at but I had my heart set on first for $33,000.

G2...attack of the vegetables!

Perhaps the most exciting news is the beginning of G2...the vegetable garden. Jackie, the bloke upstairs, kindly agreed to allow me to clear his land and use it for a vegetable garden. Today marked the turning of the first sod. Man my back is killing me!












G2...before.

Stay tuned for more in the cheap drunks series!

Operation garden

Having moved into the new place a couple of months ago now Mrs P. Taswegain and myself have been hard at work improving the garden. As you can see from the before and after photos there has been a great deal of progress. The corn is progressing nicely and is now knee high and we have just transferred some 'erbs from our that we brought from the old house into the garden here.
