Philosophising over the stock markets

A conversation held this morning on MSN with my friend KT. It’s actually more of a monologue on my part with KT occasionally replying to indicate that she’s listening to my waffle.

in answer to your questions

1. I haven’t thought about BalderdashFantaZeroMeet yet, however it will not be this Saturday because a) I’m working and b) it’s not much notice. What is the availability of people on next weekend or the one after? I think our church times are all different so Saturday is probably more feasible…

All done

And hurrah for that. Dunno if I’m going to pass or not. It wasn’t a particularly pleasant set of exams. But not to worry. Can’t do anything about it now.
