Day 1238

Into town with my cashed Giro. Put £25 in the building society, checked the balance at the bank. Wanted to treat myself to a book or something to christen my debit card but couldn't find anywhere that took Visa or Delta.

Heard on John Inverdale on R5 that their fax machine was 'little used' so sent them a fax to welcome him back to the prog. Got thanked on air while I was cooking tea ½ hour later.

Very cold and grey today, practically dark by 8pm. This and other things reminded me strongly of other peaceful times with something to look forward to. I really hope this course goes well. Where was it I read that the lucky man is the one who knows how much to leave to chance?
