What made you feel good today

Not normally a gambling man - maybe the Grand National and the Derby but realised I had an online account with Corals from the last national with £1.75 in it. Decided to have a flutter on the Ebor at York as I saw a horse I liked in the preview. Picked a couple of others and tried to do a multiple - maximum gain for minimum stake. Messed up completely - thought i`d bet £2.50 and then realised it was £2.50 per bet of 7 that made up the multiple. Thought what the hell for once and..... 3 winners at 8-1, 11-2 and 11-4. £997.50 Whoo hoo!  . Of course it`s proving more difficult to get the funds paid back to my account but a few conversations on Coral chatline sorted it and will get it in next 2 days. Well chuffed. Note to self - this odes not happen often - do not get the gambling bug!

That's brilliant Jinky. Great result and a nice treat.
Now you've got to decide what to treat yourself too!

Well done Jinky. Money always goes to them that don't need it!

His wife has already spent it.

Don't tell anyone. Keep it to yourself and then it's OK to treat yourself.

Jammy git Jinky. I won a a chicken at the village fete raffle when I was 9. That was the last thing I won. I don't gamble at all. A few years ago a social club I was in had a raffle where 9 out of 10 tickets were winners. I lost.

You would have won if you had lost the ticket!

Well done Jinky.

I found my 10 stop filter that Iost a few weeks ago! 
It was in my bedside table. I knew it would be somewhere obvious. But I'd searched it 3 times already. Wonder if it's the wife's idea of a joke.
Anyway, I'm happy I found it.

Well done!

The Woodpecker came back to the birdfeeder today Only the second time we have seen him - shame it was lashing down as the pictures were proper rubbish 

Came back a third time to the tree next door. Briefly.

After numerous attempts I managed to order a Playstation 5 for the boys (and me) for Christmas!
They are like rocking horse poo but I was lucky enough to get one and its made my day. I am a bit sad and enjoy gaming as well so super excited.

Had a great photoshoot at Gloucester Prison yesterday - been going through some of the images - quite pleases with how they came out in general. Though not many that are "safe for work"

Had the urge to enter a couple of competitions lately. One was to do a video featuring a cooking dish involving the use of some sherry for a Leeds Tapas bar running it in conjunction with Gonzales Byas sherry producers. Don`t usually do videos but thought why not as I didn`t anticipate a huge number of entries and might have a chance. Only went and won! If you`re bored enough and are on facebook you can see it here : https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=3745090595515307
Won a lovely hamper of meats, tapas dishes and sherry so well worth the hour I spend doing it. Not Nigella but close 

Then I entered a Yorkshire Evening Post competition on the theme of " Home is Where the Heart Is" showing a favourite family shot. Entered one of us messing around last new years day and , without asking family members permission, submitted it. Just got the call this morning to say I won that too  . The prize - a cartoon version of your picture by usually political cartoonist Graeme Bandeira. Just seen the artwork copy and it made me laugh. Everyone else pretty much hates it but it`s typical cartoonist style and I think i come off worst in effect! i`ll share that when I can for a laugh but can only do so once it is published in the newspaper on Monday. The guy asked if i`d be using versions of it for next year`s Christmas card. I said only if I wanted to end up living alone!

Well done Jinky. You're on a good run of form!
And it looks delicious! 👍
