Day did not start well with no Internet for a few hours. That killed any chance to progress tax accounts as that is desktop bound. Was a good excuse to drift the day away.
When my mood is down I do try to get some small wins. The garden is a good place for that. We have a few plants in hanging baskets that are unhappy. I transplanted them to front garden - new soil might work. I did have to despatch a whack of cutworms - maybe they were the culprit. Squish they went. Was going to plant the replacements next day but I mixed up the new soil and did a complete job
Internet did come back and I did update a few more months tax accounts. Talked to accountant - he will take a few weeks to process what I sent which gives me breathing space. I will get back on too.
Dinner was a challenge to find a marinade for bbq chicken thighs. Landed up with a wicked marinade based on fresh herbs from the garden: rosemary, sage, Vietnamese mint. Add salt and pepper and crushed garlic. A squeeze of lemon juice and tablespoon of white wine and 2 or 3 of olive oil. Marinade for one hour and barbecue 10 minutes each side. My wife did asparagus with almond flakes and soft boiled egg. Wicked combo.
Trade action: Staying away but did buy APA, DIS, GE, HACK, HL, TLRY. Am expecting to be assigned on AUY - hence adding HL. Corona Virus goes and precious metal miners will bounce. Also added hedges on QQQ and VGK and vis GDX. Wrote a few covered calls for May.
