Looking forward all day to the perfect evening...
Watching Midsomer Murders in a nice bubble bath with a chilled bottle of Reisling followed by fillet steak and chips for tea. :sleep:

Sun was shining all day for a change. Walked round my club with my dad - he's been considering joining but we've been unable to play it yet, so I thought at least I could show it to him, and he seemed pretty positive about it. (y) Then had a two-man kickabout in the park in the afternoon with a mate while the sun was still up. Was nice to get some outdoor exercise in that wasn't deathly boring (i.e. going for a run).

I envy you there. My dad's only 63 , retired but is awaiting knee surgery and even if they fixed it would be 2 years before golf and he isn't fit enough as it is

Would love to play with him again

Mainly because he is rubbish lol

When I started playing at 14-15 my dad would generally beat me. We both didn't play for years, but I got back into before he did and started playing every week while he was only playing a few times a year, so I beat him easily now. He's never been a member of a club though, I'm hoping he goes for it, he'll probably get a 5 day or a 'lifestyle' type membership so I can play with him in the weekday evenings in the summer and then have a pint. Really looking forward to it!

Im trying to get him down the par 3 but he reckons the impact won't help his knee

With a full moon and clear sky we are just back from a brisk 40min walk in the park by moonlight - bright moonlight is an amazing light by which to walk in the dark...

Traditional Scottish shortbread made this morning using my mum‘s method has turned out spot on. Giving most of it to daughter’s b/f for his birthday tomorrow as he‘s a great fan of it. Angling for a reciprocation that involves a great deal on new clubs and a few free lessons to get going with them...??

Care to share the recipe?

First bit of baking in a long time for me today... Lads that I worked with have been in touch reminding me of promise, on retirement, that I'd be back at least once a year with a supply of my 'signature bake'... Thought I'd best have a trial run just to check I can still do it... Look a bit flat but it's all about the taste and as I shouldn't really sample them I am relying on neighbours for QC comments...

I had my jab yesterday and have suffered absolutely no affects at all, not even a sore arm.
I was done at Epsom racecourse ............................ and there were hundreds of us, and I mean hundreds.
The efficiency of these people was staggering and the only time I was waiting around was the 15 minutes post jab.
I was asked if I have anything I react badly to, I said anti-vaccers.
She nearly wet herself before agreeing and labeling them as dangerous fools .................... or words to that effect!!
