skyringFirst off, I thoroughly approve of a star for NetStation, as reported in the latest BookCrossing newsletter. Steve is AWESOME. A more generous, funny and friendly man it would be hard to find. He is loved by all, and rightly so.
It's Thursday and it's been a fairly dull and grey week.
Monday we sold a few shares. Our Asian Value Fund wasn't performing, and the P/E ratio of P&O wasn't what it could be. Had to post the certificates away for P&O. Actual stock certificates! Today we got the advice that our broker had received the certificates, so we sold them and bought a bunch of other stuff. Kerri really loves doing all the research for shares, which is more than I do.
Tuesday we hired a trailer, took a load of stuff to the dump - a couple of old metal bed frames, old boards and about a tonne of other stuff. I don't like throwing stuff out, but Kerri is ruthless. And we brought back a cubic metre of Eucalyptus mulch, to spread here and there. That was pretty much the day gone - they were having all sorts of problems at the dump and we had to wait a long time in a queue full of trucks.
Yesterday I dragged out the ladder, got on the roof and replaced a few tiles. We have a leak into the carport ceiling, and although there wasn't anything more than a couple of minor cracks, I replaced anything that looked like it might let water in. On the other side of the house there was one tile which was in about ten pieces, and another one missing a chunk, so I fixed those. All in all it's in pretty good nick. We got it repointed a couple of years back and the company employed these huge Pacific Islander fellows who broke more tiles than they fixed, just by walking around.
And today, well I haven't done much of anything except for a small BX support job which will presumably show up in the next newsletter. Just me adding a bit to someone else's hard work, really. And a support issue from a young lady who hadn't yet met pre-numbered labels. Not quite the thing to release books with these things in when they haven't been registered. A lot of people must catch a book, see the error message and give up.
Just to go off on my run. It's about as warm and sunny as it's going to get, which isn't saying a real lot!
