More antibiotics, actually done quickly for one at the Asda pharmacy so a shop done after the collection.
Picked up two 8 packs of Activia yoghurts apparently new as one has pineapple instead of blueberry and other berry instead of raspberry and peach passion instead of peach
Once home annoyed that something had left a deposit on the front lawn and it did not pick up easilly so a full watering can used on the remains and the dog cat detterent sprayed.

Good morning from Suffolk where the bright & sunny start to the day has given way to a layer of grey cloud cover. Coffee has been had.

The plan for today was to stick a bike in the boot of the car and head off to Cambridge for a loop up to Ely and back but

prompted me to have a look at the rain radar as it was supposed to have been a dry day and it looks quite wet in that area as well

New ISA set up with Aldermore 4.15% daily paid annually interest with one withdrawal or less and seemingly no reduction for transferring in.
Only issue was the Opera generated password was not liked and when I deleted the" which was not in the acceptable list of symbols it still did not like it. Cobbled one up myself which it accepted
Requested all three existing ISAs be merged into it.

Lovely supper of avocado, roasted tomatoes and fried egg on toast, followed by apple & blueberry crumble with custard.

Now listening to Arsenal v Olympiacos

As expected the afternoon turned into a fine example of doing nothing except relaxing with reading and the radio. Conservation of energy ready for tomorrow is my excuse.

Time for a late hot chocolate.

I'm slowly rationalising my savings so that by next year I'll have three separate (fixed rate) ISAs, all running for three year terms and finishing in consecutive years spreading the risk of changing interest rates.

I've picked up a bug from at least one of my new students
