Some TIMES I feel I’ve got to

run away, I GOT TO

So says the wisdom of Soft Cell with their hit “Tainted Love”. Presumably I’ve been sitting in front of this computer for too long. Sigh.
I’ve been look at stocks and managed funds lately, and I’m pretty impressed with a couple I’ve seen. In a long-ish chat with Godfrey on Tuesday night, he suggested that dumping big money straight into the stock market now wasn’t the greatest plan, but perhaps a better plan was to open an ING account, and slowly apportion the money out of the more-or-less complete security of that, into the riskier environement of the stockmarket. That said, Andrew acknowledges his risk profile. I suppose I’m particularly interested to hear what y’all think about that.
We also agreed that we needed to do the thing we do every holiday: take a blank sheet of paper, and write the word “PLAN” atop it. That’s the basis of most of our good times, so this Christmas should be no exception. My most important pending task is the relocation of my ADSL account to Mum and Dad’s place with little service interruption to the computers that sit behind it. Second most important is the relocating of the furniture I actually want to keep “non-stowed” which is pretty much my HIFI gear and my couches, which I think M&D will have use for. Third most important, is putting everything in storage and repainting and recarpeting. It’s going to be a fun couple of weeks, that’s for sure. Also, Godez and I discussed it, and Ashmore’s is going to see us on at least one occassion, probably coinciding with a GC trip. Blacky emailed me: “on the weekend before christmas the gang are coming down the coast. 21st-23. 24 maybe December, dads Palm beach house is vacant most of the summer, and if we don’t use it ; he will sell it. the house is half furnished. will you be here for that???? ” Yes. I certainly will. Oh, and Monte’s too.
Peace out, brethren.
