A bounce around week was the week to step back and hold the cash built up at options expiry but also a time to leverage up the nuclear power story with options. In a week where S&P 500 rose 1.78% and Europe rose 0.8%, my pension portfolio rose only 0.34%. The week after the portfolio did better because of nuclear power, the drag was more nuclear power than the market. Examples in US portfolio NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) down 16% and Energy Fuels (UUUU) down 9.4%

More weird dreams - ravelling through the past - places and people.Got a different plan for the day - weather is good. Going to walk part of the Kiama Coast Walk which runs from Minnamurra to Gerringong. Was thinking of train - train. Decided to drive to Kiama and then train two stops and walk back

A slow start day. Got a mission for the day. Going to see my son and granddaughter. Nothing planned but they said it was on. Got in the car and drove down their way for a walk in Booderee NP - not far from where they live. Beach view on the south side of Jervis Bay - not been here before.

A disturbed night with weird dreams. Coldest night of the year so far did not help. Spent the morning writing up the week's investing stuff. Was in 8 minds about what to do for the day. Decided to drive further up the road I was on yesterday - looking for places to walk that I have not walked. Turned off onto Bamarang Road to check out a kayak launch ramp. Reflections in a brown creek

A cold start morning - coldest of the year. Keep turning over. Was a clear blue sky day best used by being out in the open. Cleared away some admin stuff and headed out in the car to walk Triplarina Nature Reserve - did find orchids last year

A cloudy day. Plodded around in the morning doing some accounts stuff and some laundry. Did need to go shopping - best way then is to get in the car and walk first and shop laterDrove to Bomadery Creek Regional Park to walk known tracks - was a mushroom day - pink to begin
