Hi all. Good news and less good news today. Yesterday we've been having another snooker competition and the good news is that we won five to four. The lesser news is that after I potted the last ball in my last competition frame I almost went 'off-line'. I guess that I'm now paying the price for not eating too well for the last couple of weeks. Since my tooth broke I lost about ten to fourteen pounds in weight and naturally this isn't a good thing. Right now I'm feeling okay but I do not have a bunch of energy left. In Holland we have a saying which goes something like feeling 'as weak as a tea towel' ... Although this may not make much sense in English, it defines how I feel perfectly. You may not realize this but when playing snooker, and specially while playing competition, requires a very high level of concentration which can be very energy consuming. So when you are, like I'm now, not in the best shape ever you can imagine things can get ugly sometimes. And last night it did. Lucky for me there was a chair very nearby because I really didn't feel well (even though I somehow managed to win all three of my frames) and was stone cold to the bones. After sitting there for a while and watching the others play their frames I started to feel better a bit, or at least a bit warmer. When I got home it didn't take me long to get to bed. Sometimes you just know you need to go to sleep ... and if you don't your body will let you know ;-) Take care folks,
