Good morning folks,
The wind died down around midnight and it's eerily calm. Ernie missed my numbers this month 🥲. Last month I took a wedge out and stuck it in a fixed term ISA. There was some blurb on the app advising not to cash in bonds just because you'd not won this month, I expect they've seen a significant outflow of money into fixed term bonds now that interest rates on savings have improved.

It's a bit early but I think I need my porridge. Feeling a bit chilled now after sweating earlier.

We were discussing Statins in the pub yesterday. I was recently called in for a health check and despite all my vitals being good ( regular exercise, no family history of cardiovascular disease, non smoker, vegetarian diet for 60+years, cholesterol level of 3.1 ) I still triggered the algorithm that recommended Statins)
I will stick with daily porridge instead of statins, I have a mental image of fluffy flakes of porridge oats coursing through my bloodstream soaking up excess cholesterol 😄

I've not long ordered some from here along with chopped dates to add for a hint of sweetness.

Good stuff they sell, a lot of it organic.
