31. Winning money at the races

I have only been to the races only once before and pretty much, didn't really understand what I was doing.

This time, I decided to get advice and knowledge from some of the people with me and made three bets.  Two of mine were to guess winners/placers in 6 different races and the other was a two way bet (I think that's what they call it) on a winner (means you get money if they get within the first three places and if they win).

I made my choices very carefully and on the first two bids, lost (one I guessed 3 placed horses, but not the second 3).  But then on my last bet and the last race of the day, I won : )

Last Sovereign was the winning horse, of the last race at New Market Racecourse and with a £5 bet I won just under £25 : )  No bad for a newbie : )

(This is a picture of another race I watched on the day, as the one for my winning horse wasn't as good)

30. Writing a blog for someone else's website

Whilst I was away in Oxford, I was told by an individual that they would like me to write a weekly technology blog for their website.

So during the three weeks, I wrote a few entries (which will be going up in the next few weeks), about various apps and digital packages/products that people might be interested to hear about.

6 days ago, my first blog went up live on the internet and here it is:

It may only be on a small website, but it will help me with my writing portfolio and help me to get back on the horse in this area of work : )
