Stephen Bartley writes about poker and gambling. His passions away from work and family are horse racing, tea, drink and politics. Having escaped London, a world that involved double locks and baseball bats hidden by the door, Stephen moved with his partner, step-daughter and young son to Whitstable, a seaside town in Kent, where he resides in a coastal fortress with astonishing fields of fire. That makes it good for nights in, watching American racing, drinking cocktails and getting early nights.

At Last The Day Is Came

That's a line from Casablanca by the way...

Well, I have somewhere to live now, the search is over, so thank fuck for that. I can't move until next Friday but knowing when the life of a sofa bum will come to an end is good enough. To Streatham, where you can buy pink cake at 11.05pm.

I stayed with a friend from work last night who is looking to rent out his flat. Terrible timing. It's a great place, cheap and big, and has enough of a 'garrett look' to make me feel bohemian - that's important. Just not cheap enough when you take into account London bills and poverty pay.

So now just three nights to find somewhere to sleep. But I'm getting the hang of it now and I have options. All-nighters, hotels and the doomsday plan - parents. You spend 18 years trying to get out. There's never been a rush to go back.
