I am still struggling to work the diary into the daily routine ( or even the weekly routine). I am toying with the idea of doing a video diary instead. Maybe a mix between written and video entries.

At the moment it seems like an extra task. Of course it is an extra task but in terms of priority it is low down after match research, trading and the trading tips emails. My thoughts are that if I do a video diary I can just click record on the camera and talk while I work.

The tennis in the last 2 or 3 weeks has been challenging. Trading-wise things have been pretty normal. You trade the match in front of you. Predicting match winners has been the tough bit. Obviously I don’t really care about the match winners other than to get a better score on the tournament predictions.

Having not had any sort of holiday for several years we have booked a long weekend in May. I love holidays but my wife just likes being at home. Even when I explain to her that I WORK at home and it would be nice to have different surroundings for a few days she has not been enthusiastic. I mean it’s not like she needs to DO anything other than pack some clothes. I arrange it, book it, pay for it and drive us there. I look after the dogs’ needs. Anyway I will be letting subscribers know the exact dates soon.

Not many matches on today and as I have the house to myself I am going to get the dogs’ walk out of the way and settle down for an afternoon of football. I have to fix a problem in the kitchen at some point today. The socket for the dishwasher isn’t working but as it is behind the washing machine I have to drag everything out before I can see what the issue is. Hopefully a 10 minute job but how many times does a quick job turn into an afternoon?
