Relief

My friend Adam described my poem 'the vote' as "five lines of relief". Yep, I can't argue with that.

The Vote

Welcome back Scotland 

I am really glad

That you chose to stay

In our old Union

This September Day

Chess

I scored 3.5 out of the 9 Rounds of Chess in Cardiff. Two of my opponents were in the stratosphere of my Rated Opposition, so with those games aside, I managed 3.5 out of 7 from the remainder. This included 5 draws, 4 of these were in a row, which is the longest run of draws that I have ever had when playing over the board chess. My tournament result was not great, but the outcome is lovely. 

I enjoyed the games, and enjoyed the week away.
