The weekends here in the valley are two solid days of eating, drinking and taking part in whatever other pleasures are going around. I participate with gusto, eating my way through huge servings of the latest fusion foods, drinking both the early and the late harvest wines and testing the single malts in between. Getting into bed at anytime of Saturday and Sunday is a breeze but getting out of bed on Monday morning is pure punishment. First step is to call the office and tell them about my headache. Second is stumbling across the road to the gym and finding a free treadmill to start my treatment. This where the problem starts. Every treadmill, every ski machine, every bicycle and every other piece of equipment is busy and a line of anxious users is waiting to climb on. It’s as though the entire population binged their way through the weekend and are here at confession to have their sins undone. Luckily this is a hi-tech gym with all modern conveniences which include the fruit juice bar and the internet bar for those who have to check their email every 30 seconds. I log into the Silver Spanner online casino, check the balance in my credit account and click on 3 card poker for a fast game to get my juices flowing.

It doesn’t take long. 3 card poker is a fast and furious game not recommended for the weak-hearted. If I could get back some of the weekend’s spending that would be a real online gambling bonus. I bet high and I use a simple system. I raise my bet only when I have at least one jack or better among my 3 cards. For anything less than that I fold and lose my stake. It works and I slowly but surely add to my pile of chips. Other things happen too. My headache clears and generally I begin to feel much better all round. In fact after an hour gambling online I head for the shower, take an ultra-hot followed by a freezing cold, dress and I’m ready for the office and looking forward to  next weekend!
