Sorry for my lack of posts recently, I've been busy keeping Mrs. Soul Man entertained during her stay which has been fun if kinda draining. Anyway, she jetted off back to Detroit a couple of days ago so I'm feeling a bit lonely right now. Don't get me wrong, I've made a lot of great friends since I've been in London but having my lady over for a couple of weeks made me realize how much I was missing Detroit; since she went back I've really missed having a familiar face from home around.

Still, I'm not one to dwell on such maudlin thoughts and I've resolved to head back to the good old motor city for a few days, maybe next month if I can get away from work. The big obstacle, as ever, is the lack of dollar - entertaining Mrs. Soul Man aint cheap and as I've already noted trying to save money in London seems close to impossible.

I've already started scouting out cheap flights and in the meantime I'll just have to live the life of a particularly frugal hermit. Unfortunately this probably means sitting around at home a lot which is where my new hobby comes in - Internet Bingo!

Don't judge me but I've really got into bingo lately, it's pretty straightforward and I don't kid myself that there's any strategy involved, it's just a fun way to while away an hour or so and the prize money is really impressive - at 10 every weeknight Mecca online bingo have 'Mecca Mayhem' with a £2000 jackpot - it can get pretty exciting! Which reminds me, its 9.50 now….
