Perhaps I should have stayed on holiday. On return from travelling about in Austria and Slovenia I have managed to come up with three additional horse racing losers. At least the football was a little kinder in my absence. Reading duly won the Championship (@ 8/1 ew) and Bayern Munich made it to the Champions' League final. (Sole CL bet 4pts ew @ 14/1, now 4/9 to take the trophy).
I don't see myself going off anywhere anytime soon other than a short trip to "sunny" Devon. It's festival time at home, with five events over the next few months: Ludlow/Hay-on-Wye/Ludlow/Presteigne/Ludlow is the sequence. Some better weather would help.
On the betting front we've got the French Open, Euro 2012, Wimbledon and the Olympics to look forward to this summer. It's possible I may have a maximum bet (20 points) in the latter. We shall see. Either way I'm relaxed about it as this is my punting wind-down year.
Looking further ahead, having never been to the Arc I'm looking to rectify that in October with a tailor-made package courtesy of the Arc specialists Horse Racing Abroad. Could be fun. Dublin may beckon again after that.
