I'm down -0.617% on the day today (FTSE100 -0.505%).

Worst falls: ADM -7.68%, RIO -2.01% and IMI -1.32%.

Best rises: INDV +8.77%, WMH +1.38% and BT.A +0.82%.

Despite a big rise in dividend/capital return, ADM had a bad day. On the other hand INDV had a good report on a new product, and rose twice that early before falling back.

It started at about +13°C with a broken layer of cloud on top of the inversion, which soon cleared away. Quite hazy. I had thought of cutting the grass, but the thought went away quite quickly.

Worst value fallers : BRSN -2%, DX. -6.5%, PHNX -1.7%, CSN -2%, NG. -1%.

Folio Fixed interest stocks rising today reflecting Brexit B of E interest rate falls, also affected the other way are my savings accounts as notices of interest rate decreases drop through my letterbox.

Temp 24C, apart from one downpour no appreciable rainfall here since 9th July.

Another down day, becoming a habit this week :-( SIPP -0.53% NG., DX. & SSE and the pot -0.38% LLOY, AMD & LGEN

Raided the small holding of Artemis Strategic Assets (held outside of SIPP and pot) today to pay a few more bills!

Must take a stroll down the road this evening to see if the yellow plums are ready, assuming nobody has beaten us to it! They make lovely jam and are great in a crumble!

Good Afternoon.

Thanks Aleman.

A nice stay in London last night - again helped by the weather!

[mrphil] 17/8/2016 08:01

Morning All.

Aleman, lovely season with all the ripening fruit. Make sure you cook plenty of those Bramley's and freeze them so you can have pies and crumbles throughout the winter! If not, send them down to us!

We saw a high of 25.2°C yesterday and a low last night of 11.8°C. The solar has been doing well over the last couple of weeks, 76kwh last week which isn't bad for just 10 panels.

+0.3%.

Belated congratulations to Skinny and new Mrs.

Autumn is coming. Our Great Poplar is turning yellow thanks to dry weather and cool nights recently. We are already getting a good scattering of leaves on the lawn. The pears are coming into season and we are now collecting Bramleys big enough for neighbours to take away. Some of them are turning red with all the sun. There are plenty of blackberries in the hedges but they are quite small. The dessert apples aren't falling or sweet enough yet.

I'm down -0.822% on the day today (FTSE100 -0.681%).

Worst falls: MKS -3.24%, WMH -2.85% and BA. -2.25%.

Best rises: RIO +2.09%, S32 +1.68% and BLT +0.67%.

Good day for the miners after BLT's final results. Not so good for the rest.

Dentist for a filling this morning. The pain in the wallet was the worst bit of it.

SIPP -0.32% NG., GSK & UU. and the pot -0.54% LLOY, LGEN & AMS

Just had notification from ALD that they are reducing the interest rate on our business savings account from 1.09% to 0.85% but I guess we can't complain and it's still a lot better than our high street main bank!

[mrphil] 16/8/2016 15:53

freddie, sadly I had noticed, but I'm afraid mine is more :( as it's costing the business thousands every month!

Skinny, that looks a rather pleasant place!

Glad DX. & GLIF are having a good day which is reducing losses elsewhere.

[mrphil] 16/8/2016 15:48

Afternoon. Sorry to upset you all but I have been out enjoying the boat since yesterday evening! Couldn't have been better!

Aleman, special offer just for you!

[skinny] 16/8/2016 09:05

Good Morning.

My SIPP finished up 0.40%.

Off to the later.

John Lennon, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger all appeared there when it was The Great Marlborough Street Magistrate’s Court.

[deanforester] 15/8/2016 18:18

I'm up just +0.102% on the day today (FTSE100 +0.364%).

Best rises: GSK +1.24%, LGEN +1.22% and RIO +1.10%.

Worst falls: WMH -6.35%, TSCO -1.69% and LLOY -1.62%.

WMH affected by the rejected bid from Rank/888. Most of my rises were minimal.

£ plunging :)

Aleman, Pyracantha have lovely colours and berries for the wildlife, and are a great intruder deterrent but are best not tackled without protection!

Looks like the SIPP has managed around +0.25% today thanks to GSK, HFEL & BP. but not staying around to check as the boat is calling!

[aleman] 15/8/2016 16:16

Seems you lot were doing a good job in my absence. YTD was +16.5% at the weekend. I have a bit of cash accumulating in the bank from dividends, too, but I think Mrs A might have some ideas for that as she seems to be buying a few bits for the house over the holidays.

A friend tells us our trellis plant that gave Mrs A a spike that led to bleeding, pronounced swelling, and quite a bruise a few days ago is firethorn/pyracanthus. A couple of scratches I've had from it have been quite itchy. It's had a trim for now but I'm not sure we'll stick with it.

That was the reasoning behind going 'after the event' :-)

BBOX is continuing to make new highs on its steady news flow.

[mrphil] 15/8/2016 09:02

Skinny, you'll need that trip away after having 2 grandchildren for a week!

Bit frustrated that the pound keeps falling further.

[mrphil] 15/8/2016 08:18

Good Morning.

How's married life Skinny?!

[skinny] 15/8/2016 04:41

Good Morning.

My SIPP finished up 0.51%, +1.97% on the week and is +7.37% YTD.

[mrphil] 13/8/2016 10:04

Great week, all now back into positive territory. SIPP +2.14% on the week and now +11.98% YTD, pot +2.35% on the week so now +0.65% YTD and the Virgin ISA +2.39% on the week taking it to +5.81% YTD.

Enjoy your weekends!
