Waiting for a holiday

I think this aptly sums up my mood at the moment. The week is returning to a more normal week, but that isn't exactly mind blowing at this time of year, so I am looking forward to some well earned time off. Betfair's blippyness (is that a word?) is also making me less adventurous until they resolve that particular issue. I've also noticed quite a few markets are very thin. By thin I mean there is a lack of depth of liquidity. I feel much happier when the market is like a buxom lady, currently it feels very much like a size zero model. In the office we pay close attention to all the markets and their characteristics so we can particularly feel this.

Next week is Christmas and with it the King George the VI. My trading will end on Saturday night and restart on boxing day. A real test of family loyalty but it's the last decent chance of the year from a big meeting perspectice. The second day of this meeting is on Saturday this year so that should be interesting. There is racing next week but with my father so ill and my sister deciding it's a great time to take a holiday out the country!?!?!? I will forgo the trading to help my dad out. Looks like I wont get a holiday for a while.
