no kids myself but my cousin has just had a little girl.

Not going to lie it's made me 'broody'. Hopefully won't have one for a little while yet :D

Come round my gaff for 30 minutes before tea time. It's like contraception in an life experience. You won't want any after that!
 
Got an email to say that the job that I was due to go on in mid September had been delayed again and was now expected to start on 17th October. This would have gone in the Random Irritations thread, as I had turned down other work to do this project, until I read further down the message to find that the client was paying a daily retainer fee of 2/3 day rate backdated to 15th September which was the original project start date. If the project does actually start on 17th October they will still have paid me over £10k to stay at home with the family doing the school run, watching the Ryder Cup and enjoying myself before they start paying me to actually do any work for them.
 
Got one of those new fivers in change just now, so now i'm a millionaire!

On to Flea Bay in a minute as i'm sure the going rate for them is now 7 figures.
 
Staying up until nearly 5am to see my NFL team win on a last-second fieldgoal on Monday Night Football. :D
 
On the way to Ferdown to play in the final of team over 50's comp. Free golf, free nosh and free drinks. And I'm not at work.

We won. Ferndown was in amazing condition yesterday. Played there many times but don't think I have seen the greens that good before, especially at this time of the year.
 
Sitting upstairs at my mother's house in Glasgow - the sun is out and the front garden looks lovely - though there are big dark clouds about. But for the moment...a reason to be cheerful - though tinged with sadness as my mother is no longer here with us,
 
Specialist at the Beatson in Glasgow well impressed with my recovery/fitness/attitude and says he'll look forward to seeing me in one year!
So happy that I went and got some chipping and putting practise in tonight.

I'm totally with you on this at the moment...my Mrs is in chemo at the moment

Anyway - reasons to be cheerful - she seems fine this morning - we'll have a chat shortly - and then golf this afternoon at Bellshill with Billy and WillieP - every cloud...(will have a silver lining for Billy and Willie...).

And my lovely 21yr old daughter is off up to London this morning for an interview with Amnesty International UK hoping for an intern post - and yesterday she submitted an application to work as an evening counseller/phone support for ChildLine. Sometimes your children can be a right pain - sometimes they make you very proud.
