skyringEmail from Kerri last night, talking of a dinner in a 13th century hall, dining on cloudberries and reindeer. She'll be back on Sunday morning - must make sure the house is tidy. The kids had pizza last night and the place is littered with empty boxes and coke bottles.
The New Zealand book is mildly interesting - a couple in their 60s more or less following the same route we did. Spends his time talking of jobs and the economy. Not as sparkling as I'd like. A published book - I wrote away to a literary agent with some links to my stuff and outlining a couple of ideas, because I'm certain I did better than this chap over the same ground.
Kicking myself over my trade of a couple of days back. Santos recovered and is up 28c, Amcor dropped a further 18c, for a combined total of 46c. On paper that's a loss of about $900. Bugger.
Not that it's a loss until I'm forced to sell at a loss, and I haven't done that yet in my trading. Still, it's not quite what I was reading of the market and the news. Pity I didn't go the other way - I would have made enough for my fare to Paris in September. Oh well.
Here it is Friday and I've got another stack of books to post off. Best get stuck into it. Delivered a book to Lawton's in Curtin and saw signs advertising the YMCA garage sale in Yarralumla tomorrow morning. Books at $10 the box - always a few bargains, always a pile for Bookcrossing. Only drawback is the cold. At least it will be dry.
