I haven't checked our investments and won't for several months. We have household expenses coming up, shower room and other bits plus a holiday to the States in the autumn. I'd planned to cash in some of our investments but I suspect it will prove to be poor timing.
Current thinking is we will carry on as planned and pay by credit card which we would do normally. Instead of cashing in to pay off the card I'll grab a 0% balance transfer to delay the capital repayment for +/- 2 years. Balance transfer at 0% is currently attracting fees of 3% or £30 per £1000. I expect the growth in two years will more than cover that and if it doesn't, we'll all be in the deep do do so it won't matter.
A six mile walk to the Brewery tap room yesterday evening. I tried to be good and just stuck with " BoBoLink stout at 5.6%, unfortunately the lure of " Hiding behind Shadows " at 8.9% proved too tempting and I'm feeling a tad fragile today. I was buying a few cans to take home and the brewer mentioned that there was a special batch of "Shadows" on the go, this one will be about 10.6% 😮
Congratulations to @Dirk and Mrs Dirk 👍

Amazon Prime is pretty impressive... I mislaid a pair of reading glasses so I decided to buy some more. I ordered two pairs of cheapo plastic 'glasses' at 00:30 today. They arrived at noon!
2 pairs delivered in 11.5 hours for £3.98 and they are better than the ones I lost. I'll chuck out a couple of battered old pairs that I had kept for emergency use - held together by rubber bands and Blutak!

We got back from town about one, and my Good Lady now has a new bright and shiny handbag, we had lunch and went into the new shop in the Lower Precinct, I'm not sure but I think they're Polish or similar and they've got a lovely selection of biscuits and cakes, doughnuts with plum jam and icing.

I was just looking at one of @classic33's mega-hard local climbs. If I attempted that one now it would send me straight into afib... I would be crying out to the paramedics "I lost my heart [rhythm] to the hardship of Trooper"!

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I asked Mr WD if a square foot was 12 inches by 12 inches making surprise surprise a square. He said yes, but no. It all depends. How on earth can you call something a square if it isn't for God's sake . How are you supposed to know what your going to get if a square foot isn't

The car behind, with the driver honking the horn, wanting past is missing.
Used to be a chapel at either end.

The sun is out, the sky is blue, the wind is weak. Perfect weather for going for a ride but I have a sore throat and can't be bothered so may be tomorrow?
I took Molly on the beach instead and she is now resting by my side after having a bath, to get rid of all the sand in her coat.
Garmin Connect says I have walked 9.5 kms so far today so that's enough exercise done I think.

I'm half deaf so I couldn't hear any honking. I did hear the rider mention a car though. I assumed that it had gone off to the left behind him?

Another walk done. Just over 13 miles for the day. I avoided the usual popular walks and wandered out a little back road. Still a fair few cars on it as they seem to have sussed it is a cut through to the distillery and dam walk without going through the town.
Lovely blue sky but not that warm. I haven't seen any lambs yet.
