are you all out sunbathing? I heard the temperature is approaching 25C so a "heatwave" has been announced.
It's actually going to drop to around 21C here tomorrow. Nice little break before back in to the 30's at the end of the week. Long weekend too.. get Friday off for 4th July!!!

£ seems to be doing not a lot today.. hanging around the mid - high 1.65's.
Come on.. we're still waiting for $1.70!!

Morning all, been very busy lately and can't get posting much.

I see we are holding around 1.65 with no signs of a surge to 1.70 yet.

I don't know that we'll surge to 1.70 just yet. The crappy news about the GDP looks to have bunted us down from 1.674 last night, but I am optimistic. We've already challenged 1.675 so it gives me hope that we'll get there within the next month or so (gut instinct).

If I get a cash buy rate above 1.65 by October, I'm gonna consider myself well served.

Currently trading at $1.6601
