Yo Jonny, where exactly is the £100 worth of support coming from? Our secret piggy bank or just another £2 billion of additional debt. Retards, throwing crumbs to the starving masses and even they are no longer cheering. image

Gm nostriches, feeling a little “medium” this morning, probably should have drank the beef cooking juice and fat, straight from the roasting pot, but hey, you live and learn. Didn’t let that hold me back from a pre work spin on the bike, making up to the high point (but not that high) just after the 6.46 sunrise. Back home, sorting some minor stuff before heading into work. Think I’ve pretty much achieved everything I need to for the day and definitely feeling much less “medium” than when the day started!!! Meeting with an “investment counsellor” today, what ever the fuck that is. Me and my bro ready to make this dude squirm a bit. “What is your favourite asset and how do you feel about it?” 🫡🙌 image

Gm nostriches, sorting some early morning crepes to fuel the eldest, as the three of them head to London for a night to meet up with some fam, muggins here has work to do……. Now, wellbeing research or hyperinflation?!?!? So what to do with a free evening……. Well, the sneaky beer at a pub on the way home from work was one idea, but fasting until a big steak for dinner with a side of trimming the bonsai tree just sorta feels right. Taking the evening to sit back, restore the mind and then restore the body maybe before a quick bike ride the following morning before heading into work tomorrow. As a hobbit once said, “why not?” Oh, youngest comes down and then wants different pancakes……. I get to do this, and wouldn’t have it any other way. #coffeechain

Gm nostriches, looking like a busy day today. Lecture this afternoon on a topic most students aren’t that interested in (quants methods), so attendance may be through the floor, but have some useful things to add to hopefully give some students alpha to those who actually attend. Cheers @Peter McCormack and Sir David Spiegelhalter Random fun activity of picking up some hard money from a local dealer, whoa, that sounds so dodgy, but worth having a contact who can exchange blocks of shiny metal for fiat before I need them. Little sovereigns are so teeny tiny! image

Gm nostriches, crazy storms at the moment, lying in bed feeling like the roof is about to be lifted off. Not going to stop me getting out with the little dog, some pumpkin carving before stopping in on the Zoo on the way back…… and result of the day, got both bikes to fit into the boot/trunk, so everything can be locked up while to see the little Painted Dog and maybe find the new vulture shaped arrival. Now to get the kids moving.

One kid doing homework, the other making a lemon meringue pie, me headed out in the rain with the hound. Good times. Just messing around, doing things at our own pace and enjoying some relaxed company.

Gm nostriches, wrangled the kids to bed after the long journey in the car. Unsure how long the weather will stay dry meaning likelihood of getting the kids out in the Welsh hills on two wheels may be low, but that can simply mean some time making a Pie with Grandma, so always a plus side. While it may not look quite like this half an hour later, the hills are certainly drawing me towards them, so #coffeechain nearly done, biking clothes ready and I’ll be off, maybe even get back before the small people descend the stairs from their Saturday morning slumber…….. love it when they get to catch up and don’t want to lock in to the tv straight away.

Flippin’ epic torrential trip over, but definitely sweetened by a little late 80’s Porsche spot! image

Gm nostriches, happy Friday and just a half day for me, before heading over the country with the kids and bikes in the auto to provide care and company for the mother……. And the teenager wanting some space from HER mother…….. Got a bonsai a little while back, looked dead, was nearly thrown away, but a little Google and a little care and the “green shoots” started to appear. Then took the clipper to her and tidied things up…… then, after a karate kid reference to the fam, absolutely not a coincidence, I’m saying providence or serendipity, moved back to #chooselife and there, clear a day on the beginning of the next chapter, a Mr Miyagi quote. Well played @npub1hghn...fyz2 keeping my belief that the science we were talking about doesn’t even scratch the surface. Choosing life this weekend and going to share the good word with my students in video I’m going to riff for them this morning.

Gm nostriches, happy Monday! Students handing in some coursework today, so a little more space in my day, time to finish of the piece about 90’s sport cars as the way of maintaining an important part of culture, well maybe just the culture of a Middle Aged white guy, but aren’t we the corner stone of family and value creation? so can’t we drive something that puts a smile on our faces? So global economy, how’s the bond market going? That shit? Oh cool, hope all the hedge funds out there are able to make ends meet. Time for a deep breath today, great fun getting the parents over for Sunday lunch out yesterday (the son/dad job of keeping everyone together), and grabbed a cheeky half of “epiphany”, such a great name for a beer and provided a good laugh for everyone around the table “half an epiphany please!!!!” Tomorrow, the assignments will be in, and the short turnaround marking will get underway!!!! #coffechain Oh, new bond doom loop where higher rates don’t just mess with the value of the bond, they also reduce demand for more, because obligations are being covered by what companies already own…… hmmm this one is a little weird, unsure I fully understand this but whey hey, I don’t own bonds so no problemo!!!!!
