Diary

I don’t have many tasks left that need doing for the business. One was to go through my spreadsheet of the Trading Tips subscribers and work out how many days they have to carry over to when the tennis starts up. It is a long list as the service has grown in popularity each year. It also includes people who purchase the Trading Guide as they get Trading Tips with their purchase. I was adding a couple of new subscribers to the spreadsheet and started updating some of the members. I thought that I may as well carry on and have now updated everyone’s entry with how many email days they have left.

I made my first trade since the lock down last night. The BATE match saw the strong favourites at home and 1-0 down from the 1st leg of the semi final. Surely we would see a couple of goals!. I gave myself a £200 bank to play with and backed over 2.5 at evens at the start. That was a bit lazy and would normally wait 10 minutes but on this occasion it worked out. An early goal for the home team was a decent start. As the match approached half time I was beginning to think I had made a mistake. An own goal just before the break got me out of trouble and I greened up. Almost 50% profit. The match ended 2-0.

This afternoon I saw there was a match in Turkmenistan! I’m not sure I could point that place out on a map! I had a quick look on Twitter and people seemed to be expecting 2 or 3 goals. Again, an early lay of under 2.5 goals was a lazy entry but there was another early goal! An equaliser before half time gave me over 80% greened profit. I have more than doubled my money in 2 trades.

That has been my day so far. I’ve done a bit of reading. I googled for a way to contact a real person at Twitter. My account is still suspended. I found a site that claims to have a contact at Twitter. I filled in an email message and they reckon that they have sent it to Twitter. I won’t hold my breath.

Sue has a shopping list for me so I am off to join the queue at Tesco.

Have a good evening and stay safe.

 

I took the dogs out a little earlier than normal last night. We set off around 10:45 pm. We almost always see foxes on the late walks. Last night was no exception but as we walked down the main road towards the hospital a huge badger crossed the road just in front of us. That’s the first badger I have seen for perhaps 3 years. It seemed close enough that even the body cam would pick it up. it did but the images were poor. I was disappointed by that. As I have mentioned on here before I haven’t had much luck getting footage of the wildlife. I have changed the settings on the camera to the highest resolution and full HD. If that doesn’t help I’ll be binning the camera!

As planned we changed things round in our bedroom. By that I mean the furniture and not the sex life. Sue had done a plan and thought it would take all day. As we were getting rid of the old dressing table I suggested that I made a start dismantling that and I’d give her a shout when it was done. It came apart really easily. That left a space to move the wardrobe into. It is quite old but well made and I didn’t remember it having some sort of castors on the bottom. It moved really easily. I was cleaning as I went. Three chest of drawers found their new homes quickly.

Nothing had really moved in the bedroom in the last 8 years (again, I don’t mean the sex life) so I expected to find mess or damage when I moved items but other than dust there was nothing major to sort out. The TV unit moved to the opposite wall. The bedside tables were next. Just the bed to move. I realised that this was supposed to be a little project to fill some time in for Sue. I went downstairs to ask her to help me move the bed. I could have done it on my own! I did apologise for taking the job from her but she was made up that I had done so much so quickly. We moved the bed and started looking at the small details of how we both wanted things to look. We need some new bedside lights which I have ordered from Amazon. We were all done by 12:00.

I wanted to finish adding subtitles to the old webinar video that I posted on Monday. The original sound was drowning out some of my comments. I still had the last 10-15 minutes to do and I got that done. Here is the link if you haven’t seen it yet or if you want to read the comments that you missed from the first viewing.

This is day 5 of Sue’s 14 days off. Things are going extremely well so far! I have 2 orders of bedding plants to be delivered. In fact one of them has not been confirmed yet. All I have had delivered is some bags of compost and the membrane for the front garden. This week looks like having a fair amount of rain so let’s hope we get them for next week to give her something to do.
