Last Sunday (27th July) I had a fishing trip booked from Gosport (and the reason I posted late Saturday Night), it was booked as a Bass & Turbot trip, we drifted for Bass first thing, I had the first Bass of the day but unfortunately it was undersize so it went back, I must have a knack for catching undersize Bass as all the ones I caught were undersize, later we went for Turbot, no Turbot were forthcoming, on one drift my rod tip went over on bringing up the fish it was a Blond Ray, the person fishing next to me also caught a Blond Ray on the same drift, for most it was Conger Eels, Pouting and some decent Black Bream. I ended up skinning both ray as the other person who caught one it was his first ray and did not know how to skin them. Skate is one of my wife's favourite fish, so she won't moan about be going fishing for the next couple of trips.

Dawn Silver - Mommy I Like To Be
Released 1966, this copy was issued in Rhodesia now Zimbabwe, the reason I brought this record is it's a Tri-Centre, Decca had discontinued Tri-Centres in the UK by 1960, in South Africa & Rhodesia Decca was the predominant record manufacturer and produced Tri-Centres until the late 1960's, Decca also produced records under licence for other record companies such as EMI, Pye, Philips etc all as Tri-Centres.

Saturday Morning Frustrations
Due to the hot weather I have been taking Biscuit for her morning walk between 05.00-06.00 to avoid the heat, I do the grocery shopping on a Saturday morning at 07.00, I needed to take out some cash as I will be away during the week, the first inconvenience the cash machine was empty, there are two cash machines (there used to be five) the second one dispenses Dollars or Euro's that one is never empty, as I do the shopping on my own I always use the self scan, as I got to the checkout area the people in front of me got rescans, my bad luck I got a rescan, this time it was a full rescan (first time ever), unpack all the items to be rescanned and then repacked, on the way home I called in at the Metro branch of the supermarket in the Village to use the cash machine, luckily this had cash, I entered my details and the amount I wanted to take out, it then came up with a message the maximum amount you can withdraw from this ATM is £250, I changed the amount to £250 but no luck, I retried entering £250 new message the maximum amount you can withdraw from this ATM is £237.24, interesting as the ATM has no facility to dispense coins, I ended up withdrawing £200, when I got back to the car I checked my balance etc. via my phone and wondered where the ATM's had got such strange details of my balance from.
