Funny Old World
What an odd day I had yesterday. It started with a visit to do a quotation at a care home in Isleworth, London. When I was walking through a corridor an elderly lady attached herself to me in a rather aggressive manner (well, as aggressive as an old lady can be!) and appeared not to want to let go. When the site caretaker tried to prise her off me, she rather hilariously told him to piss off, though this still didn't solve my problem because as ...
A Fun Weekend To Lift Spirits

September really has been a fantastic month weatherwise.Saturday was all action, firstly we went bowling with Bri, Lorri, Lawrence and Kath for Jessica's (Di's niece) birthday in Eastleigh.

Yesterday I did something beyond what I can afford at the moment, I rejoined Test Valley Golf Club and played my first full 18 holes of golf since my 40th birthday on 17 November 2007.Alot has changed since then, but not my old sparring partner Tony, who is the same character as ever and we had a great afternoon. I also saw one of the other old boys I used to play with (John Page) who stopped me buying a new £30 golf trolley by saying I could ...
