Meeting held with a bank about investing both the spare cash we have now and proceedings from the house sale. It obviously says something in their corporate manual about making a personal connection with the customer as he told us all about his hobbies and ambitions etc. Also, he looked about 14 and his suit was two sizes too big for him. So now we have one large fund and two smaller satellite funds for a tolerable risk level (I never looked at the predicted gain columns, only predicted loss).

Made tasty fake chilli. By which I mean, no beans, made from a mix of already minced beef and pork, onions, passata, a little stock and leffe brun, and seasoned with cayenne, fresh and dried chillis, garlic, oregano and cumin. Leftovers for today. I might bulk it out into a soup with more stock and throw some rice in it to cook for the ultimate in single-pot-washup laziness.

Work is mostly prep-stuff atm. Lots of interesting yet dense documents to read. So dense that I can only get through 2 or 3 of them per day although they are in english.
