With Claire being off, we took a trip down to the Sussex coast and were reasonably lucky with the weather and enjoyed a lunch on the beach.

Week 177 – August 4th – Goring by Sea
Looking out at the English Channel from the Goring by Sea beach. It was pretty busy and actually a decent day apart from the cloud that you can see in the picture. -
Week 177 – August 2nd – The Bell Hotel
Today we went and spent time with Claire’s dad, as it would have been her mum’s birthday.
The first one since she passed away last year.
We had a lovely lunch at the Bell hotel in Sandwich to remember her.

Week 177 – July 31st – What a way to go out
It was obviously written in the stars for Stuart Broad, what a way to finish your career.
I don’t believe it’s ever been done before, the last ball you face, you hit for six and then the last ball you bowl you take the wicket to win the match.
This also to draw an amazing Ashes test series.
England have been very lucky to have two of the all-time great bowlers playing together, I don’t believe either of their records will be broken due to changes in cricket.
Thank you Broady.

Week 177 – July 31st – What hit me
This morning was not a pleasant start to the day.
I have no idea what hit me, but my stomach was in a mess and I was suffering from bad diarrhoea.
No idea what caused it at all?
Thankfully I felt better later on today.

Week 176 – July 30th – Back below 18 stone again
After quite a bit of walking this week, I was able to get my weight back below 18 stone again.
17st 13lbs 8oz
Hopefully I can keep there for a while this time and loose some more weight.

Week 176 – July 29th – New TV
We decided to treat ourselves to a new television today. Kept it at the same size of a 32” screen.
For something modern, it was a bit painful to setup, because of the amount of details that had to be entered especially around the internet.
Who would have thought you would be doing that on television?
Hopefully I can appear on screen in something new.

Week 174 – July 16th – Mission Impossible
Today we went and saw the new Mission Impossible film, Dead Reckoning Part 1. Very enjoyable action film, but no wonder they have split it into two. Would fully recommend.
This post will self-destruct in 5 seconds! 💣💣💣💣💣
Or will it lol

Week 174 – July – 16th – Butterfly
I was sitting in the garden this morning and this butterfly, I believe a white cabbage was flying around.
It landed on one of the patio plants and I was able to take this picture.
Pretty good I think.
I think a great capture of a butterfly in the garden. -
Week 174 – July 12th – Yes not a good year
This was feedback I had from the market analyst.
“2022 was a dreadful year for the fixed interest market as it suffered record breaking losses caused by the sky rocketing interest rates. We were meaningfully underweight but with hindsight should have been even more aggressive in this position. Now with interest rates appearing to be nearing what is expected to be their peaks we have moved towards a more benchmark neutral position. This repositioning of our asset allocation is behind the purchase of the additional units of Robeco.
Robeco has been our best performing fixed interest collectives’ year to date, performing relatively well because it has been positioned to be less sensitive to increasing interest rates (duration).”
I’ll be honest, I’m still not sure about Robeco, happy to be proven wrong.

Week 173 – July 9th – Not again
Back over the 18 stone mark again. 18st 1lb 4oz.
Looks like it’s going to be a right battle this year with the 18 stone goal.
