Every morning except on Thursdays, the warm-water pool is standing room only, as a whole bunch of geriatrics do their aquarobics until lunchtime, and I don't know anyone who can hold on for that long when up to the neck in warm water.
Thursday morning being a "safe" day and having the pool almost to ourselves, we made an early start and followed it up with lunch with friends at the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club, and my usual visit to Vinnies to look for some more interesting books (not that I haven't already a whole library full of them!) I picked up "Trading in the Zone" by a Mark Douglas, which clearly hadn't made anyone a fortune yet as it was still in its shrink-wrap, and then a little lower on the same shelf, I found a completely unread "Ham on Rye"! Who in the Bay reads Charles Bukowski? No one, judging by the pristine condition of the book.
I also picked up "The Unknown Nation - Australia after Empire" and "There goes the Neighbourhood - Australia and the Rise of Asia", both published around 2010 and therefore already superseded by events.
Anyway, I might as well start on "Trading in the Zone" because I am not (yet) a trader. If I were, I would have sold all my BHP shares yesterday after they had jumped from $50.13 to $52.40, because today they've given up everything they had gained yesterday, and closed at $50.36.
There's even an online audiobook of "Trading in the Zone", so there's no excuse for you not to have the same sleepless nights as I have. Go for it! After seven hours of listening, you may still be just as bad at it as I am.
