Drizzly 5k today, but glad to have done it. Had a long day of meetings today, normal for Tuesday, then ran to Hythe and back when Clare got in.
Starting to make plans for pay day. I basically have an extra £150 to play with now I can't buy the blinds I wanted for the bedroom. Shall I spend it all on wine? The mixed case they just emailed me about sounds already but some real wild card suppliers in, some from Bulgaria and several from Greece. I wonder if it's worth a chance? It's not cheap. But I'm worth it. They're all wines that have had favourable press, but if the wine society have been sending out sampled bottles of stuff they wanted rid of that might do it...
These red, white and sparkling wines have two things in common: all are stocked by us, and all have received glowing praise from the press.

The coronavirus death toll in the UK officially went over 100,000 today. Boris Johnson said on TV "We did everything that we could to minimise suffering and minimise loss of life", but he's a liar.
