Diary

The first delivery of plants arrived at lunchtime. I had an email this morning to say they were on their way so Sue started preparing all the pots, planters and hanging baskets. I’m glad we got some before she goes back to work on Friday. The anticipation of her next shift always affects her mood and as she has been off for almost 2 weeks she welcomed having something to concentrate on.

I have had a quiet day so far. I have 1 more webinar from 2010 to add a commentary to. I’m sure I did another one but I can’t find it. I certainly remember doing a live stream in which I had around £95 profit and tried and failed to top it up to £100! I can’t imagine that I live streamed without recording. I looked through an old hard drive without any luck.

I did find a few photos that brought back memories. This one of Charlie as a pup. Shortly before I walked in he had gone into the kitchen where Sue was with some bits hanging out of his mouth. She thought he had eaten the sofa!

No tennis worth trading until Friday and just the one Turkmenistan match. The over 2.5 goals markets have been a bit strange on those matches with the price staying pretty static for a long time.

I keep getting emails from copywriters offering to make my site more compelling. Cheek! It’s converting really well. I did spend a little time this afternoon googling copy tips and tricks. I’ve made a couple of small tweaks but overall I think it’s doing a great job.

That’s it for today. Stay safe.

 

I have managed to resist posting anything on Twitter using the phrase, “May the fourth be with you”. Its the first time in years. I only have 190 follower on the new Twitter account. Hardly seems worth it.

No sign of the street party that Facebook claimed was going on this afternoon. I suspect the police had been tipped off as they sent a van onto the estate around 1:30 pm. It is probably going to be happening on Friday for VE day. People are being encouraged to decorate their houses with bunting and flags. Eighty percent of the houses up here don’t even put Christmas lights up. I can’t see many wasting money or effort on bunting.

I need to decide which camera to get. The wildlife were taking the piss last night. We must have seen 6 foxes and quite a few bats. At one point I would have had an amazing shot of a fox and a bat in the same shot. Maybe I should get a gun instead. A bit later a fox bolted out of the bushes about 12 feet in front of us. It ran across the road and then stopped to watch us. Once I had calmed Charlie down we carried on down the road but when I turned round the fox was following us. I might give up on trying to capture video and aim for still shots instead.

I traded one of the Tennis Point Exhibition matches this morning. I didn’t fancy Dustin Brown to have an easy match. I got an earlyish lay in at 1.32. He lost the set and went an early break behind in set 2. I got out way too early but still took a healthy profit. There were play off matches later which Betfair hadn’t bothered to put up markets for. The 2:30 Turkmenistan match looked like having a few goals and there were 3 in the first half.

I think I’ll call it a day and do some camera shopping on amazon in the garden.

There is a Swiss firm who have come up with an antibody test that they claim is 100% accurate. It has already been licensed in America and they reckon they can get tens of millions out by next month. Things are developing so quickly. I have always thought the antibody test would be a huge step on the road to normality.

Stay safe.
