Back behind the desk

Rather bizarrely it seems the industry that deals with bereavement takes the weekend off. So it was a rather odd situation that occured after the events of last week. I found myself at the weekend pretty much with little to do.

With that in mind I settled down to get stuck into what looked like a decent card on Saturday. I succesfully got off to ther worst start I have had for six months! After such a rotten start I was getting distinctly worried. All of them had different reasons for the failure but it was a bit of a nerve jangling start.

I shouldn't have worried though as the day turn out to be excellent and having succesfully put that rocky start behind me I smashed through the rest of the card. Highlight of the day was the Cleeve hurdle where I netted the best of a good set of results.

My fathers funeral is arranged for next week so I've got a fair bit of stuff to get through between now and then, but I do anticipate I will be active on the markets, I have pretty much missed the Aussie open tennis. After the funeral I am likely to take some time off. February is usually my weakest month of the year and after a year of real heartache its as good a time as any to take a break with the family and return fresh for what promises to be another busy year.
