Mrs. Monk's Would-be Diary, should have been written by Mrs. Monk, since she is the "Writer" in the family.
However, since she is a writer only in the conceptual sense, I have undertaken to fill these pages on her behalf.
If not by her, these pages will certainly be about her, and other important matters of the day

Leslie Monk, the long suffering.

	Would-Be Diary

Colin: Lean and hungry, a gentleman but only so on the surface. Shows no mercy. Wants to win, even during tennis warm-ups.

Mrs Monk swims and I play tennis at John Lloyd tennis Club.

Competition is fierce but ostensibly friendly, at least on the surface.

It came to pass that two separate tennis players were buying and selling the same shares of the same company, Corus, on the same day. They could not be both acting wisely.

A virtual investment club was formed within the Tennis Group. Each member of the “club” have invested a virtual £250 in the following shares of their choice and this is how they are doing in order of their success after one week.

Mrs Monk has been threatening to dabble on the stock market, in a Walter Mitty kind of fantasy that is worrying Mr Monk. She is buoyed up by her virtual success with Marks and Spencer. Mr Monk hoped to lose in order to demonstrate the foolishness of her enterprise and chose the troubled Marconi. This has backfired since Mr Monk has led the table inexplicably since the beginning.

This unexpected result ought to prove Mr Monk’s point since it confirms the unpredictability of the enterprise, but Mrs monk is not “buying it” However Phil, the late starter has leapt forward with Barretts, the best performer this week.

Phil is clearly an insider.

Canny Colin certainly saw something coming at O2 which was featured on every TV news channel this week. Did he see it coming or was it luck? In fact everybody improved this week and that is the first time that has happened as far as I recall.Yes Julia.
