Well, Ernie has ignored me again so I have got stroppy and cashed in!
Actually, I just needed to top up my bank account. Since I didn't
win the money, cashing in PBs was the alternative. I invested the profit from the sale of my house a few years back and have been cashing bonds in every now and then as required. I wanted to keep my PB account alive so I have left a few. Using reverse logic, I figured that I have been unlucky when I had a decent number of bonds, so maybe I would be more lucky if I have an '
unlucky' number - I now have only...
13!
Do your worst next month Ernie - what could you do that is worse than me not winning anything?
There's quite a few places around here that have eggs out with honesty boxes. I keep meaning to try them. Might not be a good idea on the bike though.
We found one of them when walking my sister's dog in Devon. We bought a jar of pickled duck eggs (which my nephew ate the entire contents of on the walk!), and jars of jam and chutney. I commented that it was very trusting of people to leave the produce out like that but when I returned the pickled duck egg jar at the end of the walk I noticed a sign saying "
Smile to the CCTV camera!" I am not sure if there actually
was a camera, but I suppose it might make thieving scrotes think twice!
The sun is shining here today so I had thought of doing a decent ride but it is very chilly and I didn't sleep well. I will make do with a short ride on the singlespeed bike again instead.
In case any of you are interested... The world track cycling championships took place last week and there is very extensive coverage still available on iPlayer. 5 days worth at 3-4 hours coverage per day, though you can get that down by at least an hour per day by skipping the gaps between races. The races were of a very high standard, and Britain got some decent results, but I won't tell you in what races in case you want to watch for yourselves.
. Most of that will be bone. We have fields rammed with sheep but they are seriously taking the Mick.
