Hank Paulson got his way


and was pretty much able to write cheques for the rest of the gazillion dollars that Congress have okayed........ the Dow took things in it's stride and closed lower on the day. I guess that the Americans plan to keep printing money and deflating in order to deal with this massive extra cost to the taxpayer and the financial system in general, which makes me very glad that I don't pay tax to the USA.
We are enjoying a quiet weekend- after getting a few things sorted out in town yesterday (Catherine bought new boots and I exchanged some pants and had batteries changed in my Polar watches) it was a very steady evening at home. Today makes yesterday look like the Royal Easter Show :-) The washing machine and dishwasher have been on but we are taking things very easy and looking forward to cooking a chicken and mushroom ragout to have with pasta for dinner this evening.
If the sun stays out it might be a good idea to get out for a walk for an hour or so to build up an appetite and let the neighbours know that we are still alive.
Good luck for this coming week- we're gonna need it.
