The Fucking January Blues!!
The Upper Hand #21

I missed Malta for the first time since I left this week.
A friend of mine posted a picture of him chilling on his balcony.
Shorts on, 23 degrees, FUCK YOU!
Winters in Malta aren’t even fun!
The apartments are designed to be as cold as possible.
No cosy fires to warm the soul!
The Island population cuts in half and a chunk of the businesses just close.
BUT I MISSED IT BECAUSE IRELAND HAS BEEN BALTIC!
Below freezing, every single night.
Listen - I know some of you live in colder climates - I DON’T CARE I’M STILL ALLOWED TO BE MAD ABOUT THE WEATHER!!
Having a kid makes these cold, dark evenings drag on.
I’ve watched Frozen 6729 times since Christmas.
Not a terrible film but there’s only so much you can take.
On the brightside, the days are SLOWLY getting longer.
My wife thought I’d lost my mind this week when I randomly screamed in joy because it wasn’t pitch black at 5pm!

BRIGHT LONG DAYS ARE ON THE WAY!
If you’re struggling a bit, you’re not alone and the better days are coming!
That’s a Finty promise!
Last weeks plans got sabotaged by my camera shitting the bed as I attempted to stream.
Fintan vs Technology Episode 322.
I’m the most fortunate man in life.
BUT I am possibly the unluckiest man with technology.
This week I shall be streaming Touraments on Monday and Wednesday.
On Tuesday I’m going to fire a decent length Cash Game session!
Looking forward to have a proper catch up.
I’ll be live shortly after midday.
Bye for now, you BEAUTIFUL Fucks
