Up at 7am for a nice cycle ride along the sea wall and beach for an hour. I have to be in London this morning to sort a few things out, so no trading. I’ll going in by train from my local station (6 miles away) around 10 o’clock time.

As I mentioned yesterday, don’t forget to read the market update from Capital Spreads boss (Simon Denholm) by clicking here

Update 9pm: I had a successful day in London – it looks like I have a buyer already for one of my flats (when the restoration is completed) and once I had finished my 4 arranged meetings I managed to call into the IG Index offices for half an hour to see some old friends. I also called in to friends in Chelmsford on the way back. I eventually got to back to Halesworth Rail Station (in Suffolk) at 8pm and had a 6 mile taxi ride back here to the cottage, collecting an Indian Take-Away on the way.

No trading at all for me today, and tomorrow (Thursday) will have limited opportunities to watch the markets as I am getting ready to go for a weekend camping near Epping Forest with my youngest son and his Scout Troop.
