Backgammon

I was going to spend a few hours today and tomorrow updating the blog.

But...

We were just having a light lunchtime snack and a drink in Via Via in Leon, Nicaragua, and we had a series of backgammon. You should know that we have completed our first series of series of series and we are now on to our second. A series is first to 5. Double games, gammons and backgammons count as extra games.

Anyway, coincidentally we are also a bit behind on the budget, though our time in Honduras was just about on the money.

Now, as regular readers will know, Miss Deli is the brains in this operation, and over lunch, and after a good BG thrashing (t must be said) she proposed that yours truly get online and take a look at playing for money.

So, I just tried a warm up on the biggest site, Party Poker´s BG thing, not playing for real cash. In nearly three hours I won a few series to 7 (all 7-0) and a few individual games. I only lost the first due to a few errors with the interface (to which Miss Deli will gladly bear witness). After lengthy training with JC since age 6 and plenty of practice with Nick Clyne and Jes (they deserve mentions for their valuable schooling), and now over 200 games between the clan Deli in the last few months, MC Deli could not be better prepared. I even read a book on it once:)

Tomorrow we were planning a blog day. But it wll now be BG Day. And the Delicatessen is going to see how some of the real cash players like it. You will be kept informed. Fingers crossed. Love to all.
