Planning permission given in Watford for 5 20 storey flats, slap bang in the middle of the highest congested area. Zero parking spaces allowed for, as they want the new residents to use public transport. Like they won't abandon their cars everywhere they can. It won't cause chaos, oh no.

Poppy split a pad a few weeks ago, just wont heal! Shes been rested, had creams and ointments, had an inflatable collar to stop her licking it, a boot on her paw, finally looking better yesterday, shes just jumped up me and put blood on my shirt, obviously has split it again and back to square one :( the reduced walking schedule has not gone down well either! also waiting for some test results on some skin problems shes been having too :(

Hope Ruperts better soon!

did she get any stitches?
Rups was stitched, has the dressing changed looks OK, was a big cut though, no walks for him for a while, back Monday to the vets for another look

Baldrick cut one of his a few years back and that healed up well, but it took a while, that had a couple of stitches too

Thieving gits. Big social do at the club last night so a few left their cars. We have a key pad operated gates in the entrance but our assistant pro had his car window smashed and they got in and nicked his clubs. New pro had his car done and his laptop taken from the boot. Several other cars had doors tried and a window broken. Steward locked up about 1.00am and green staff on site at 4.30 so someone must have known and knew the code in and out

Two hundred and thirty something days until the Ryder Cup starts.... so many, many opportunities to have to explain that it isn't the "EU Ryder Cup team" ?

Hope Viktor makes it onto the team though.

That smells of an inside job.

To start work. Only a minimal weekend staff but they are there to get the course ready, swish greens, change holes etc. They also use weekends to check their machinery and do any repairs where they can
Not having a pop but seriously as a Greens Chairman I would not be sanctioning any scheduled machinery maintenance/ repairs at the weekend as the course is priority.
We have one guy on and he swishes/mows greens , moves markers and or ropes etc and starts around 40 mins before first tee time ( weekends everyone starts on 1st tee) and they are generally done in 2.5 hrs . In main season holes changed the evening before . What do they do if there's a frost at 4.30 ?
