32 pence

I'm not normally a betting man but seeing as there was £5.27 in my Ladbrokes account I made a couple of quid bet on Holland, my adopted team for the Euro 2008 tournament, beating Russia. They lost.

Then I picked Russia to beat Spain for a few quid. They lost.

Tonight I decided to back Spain vs Germany with the remaining 27 pence left in my betting account and... I won. I fucking won. WOOHOO.

Yes, I won 32 pence!

Now, with my 59 pence pot, I'm going to have to celebrate.

Anyone got any ideas of what drink/drugs I can purchase and enjoy for a whopping 59 pence?!!

Some Solstice

June 21st. The longest day of the year. Summer Solstice. I had planned to drive or hitch to either Stonehenge or Avebury and watch the sunrise. But keeping an eye on the weather forecast was right - it's a grey cloudy morning and it's friggin' raining. Bummer Solstice more like. Maybe next year...
