Up at twenty to six this morning to get the best of the day and enjoy the sunshine. Out on the bike within minutes and forced to remember that bright sun does not mean warmth! My knees ached and I had no energy so quickly made it home again. Around seven I saw the boys in the park sipping cans of cheap beer. Quite why they gather there to drink amazes me. They harm no-one but it appears to me to be a downward slope when you start that. We also have one man in the town centre who stands shouting at nobody most of the day. I don't think he actually sees anyone outside of his head. Nothing to be done for such folks I reckon. Those living in big towns and cities would be happy to have only one such man around.
My neighbour appeared at around ten last night as I went to my kip. I saw him coming in and no police around today so they must have contacted him. As the landlord has also been enquiring I wonder if my friend (and he is a good man) may end up with the park drinkers early in the morning?
No appearance today however.
Someone, and it was one ticket only, won £161, 650,000 on the lottery last night and it wasn't me.
Now I am not one to complain, but if the winner is not a very poor person with a huge number of unpaid bills, a landlord threatening them with eviction and a family suffering malnutrition, at the very least, then I am going to be annoyed! Why did they win MY money? I wish I hadn't started spending it now.....

It's always a drunk who wins the lottery. Or a politician.
So... what are the odds of winning a pot that large? Gotta be at least 4 or 5 to one, right?
P.S. - my huge multi-language dictionary tells me what a kip is. It is either
1. The hide of a young, small animal.
2. The basic monetary unit of Laos, equal to 100 ats.
3. A unit of weight equal to 1,000 lbs.
4. A scottish word for bed.
I'll go with the hide. Do I win?
Since there is no mention of the infamous "to-do" list, may we assume that you got all of your chores done?
Max, A Scots couple won the money £161 million and have made their name known.
That was daft I say!
I will have some Edinburgh words for you soon.
Fish, the 'To-do' list is done.
I threw it in the bin and started again.
