Yesterday it was my wife's birthday and we celebrated with the usual gastronomic delights:
- A breakfast of scrambled eggs on home-made toast.
- A lunch of sautéd samphire with butter and garlic, followed by grilled cheese sandwiches (random but delicious).
- A dinner of crab and chilli linguine with watercress and fresh parsley from the garden (extracted under cover of plastic mac during non-stop downpour); rack of lamb marinated in garlic, thyme and anchovy, then roasted until just pink in the middle with a delicious fragrant crust; followed (much later on, after room in our tummies had been procured) by Thai style mango and sticky rice.
It was a shame the weather was so foul but we hunkered down with a bottle of McManis Californian Zinfandel and make the best of it. 
The month is nearly over and will be entirely unspectacular results wise. However I've put in a decent amount of volume on plo 50 Zoom (given constant horrid shoulder pain), fixed some of the more glaring leaks with the aid of some useful coachings, and got myself within spitting distance of a shot at plo 100 beginning next month. I'm feeling a bit anxious about the prospect but also kind of excited...
My EV bb/100 at 25k hands is exactly breakeven. Could be worse, but not really very encouraging. That said, one must be realistic. Zoom is full of regs, and I'm learning a new game from scratch, so breakeven is not a total disaster.
So around 12bb/100 in rake
