Bank Holiday Monday

Well, tradition says that you should go out and sit in traffic jams during a Bank Holiday. The Gorse Fox was never a traditionalist. Tradition says you all go to the seaside or big festival on Bank Holidays. The Gorse Fox lives at the seaside and can't be bothered with the the great unwashed at a festival. Tradition says you make the most of a Bank Holiday because you are going back to work for the Summer tomorrow. The Gorse Fox has retired - he doesn't give a flying fig.

The Gorse Fox, Silver Vixen, and Cousteau-Cub have had a day relaxing at home. The Silver Vixen cleared the part of the garage where she keeps her gardening equipment and the Gorse Fox caught up on the ironing of all his holiday shirts and trousers. Then we cleaned the rill. You see, it is possible to have fun without a traditional Bank Holiday!

The Gorse Fox also reviewed some accounts and one that he had opened a while back was getting some very poor online write-ups. He only had a nominal amount in said account, but he was thinking of repurposing it. Well, he did. He's closed it. Taking a leaf from Cousteau-Cub's book he's opened another online account with N26, a German based bank (fully licensed to operate in the UK). He cannot get over how simple it was too register... name. address, NI number, then photos of driving license or passport, a selfie to match against the photos and that was it. Done. Very impressed.

To complete the theme of the last few days, the Gorse Fox has booked to return to Jamaica next year. He managed to score a good deal and the deposit is now paid. He's also been in touch with Agent Mulder and he's hoping that they can join us once again but won't be able to confirm for a week or so.
