Played in my sons football teams annual fathers vs sons tonight. Wasn't sure if I could make it but the smile on his face when I got there was worth the pulled muscle in my thigh that's agony.

Went to see The Overtones last night in Basingstoke…four cool lads doing superb covers of classics mostly from the 50s through 80s. Our lad got us Guest tickets in middle of third row.
I could have been a bit sniffy and meh about them, but the crowd (mostly of a certain age and sex) were up for a having a good time and so we decided to just join in and it was great fun singing and dancing along.
Nice touch after the concert our lad had us backstage in his office for a while as he finished off, and while there the guys in the group popped in for a chat with us. Really nice down to earth guys buzzing after a great evening…and most heartening for us was how complimentary about our lad and the job he is doing with them on tour.??

Nadal beating Djokovic in the tennis and me being able to laugh at my Serbian-born friend who blindly supports Djokovic no matter how much of an arse he is.

My 2 grandsons playing in a 9 hole competition, he got the 10 foot put after that ?.
It’s a fine line to teach them rules and how to behave on the course and at the same time let them have fun.

Our golf course is pretty average but the scenery in the Hertfordshire countryside is stunning. It's heartening to see barn owls, red kites, kestrels, yellowhammers, skylarks and hares on such a regular basis.

Ash Valley. A little proprietary club that's not really on anybody's radar.

Sunshine on Jubilee day. London isn't my cuppa but always looks stunning around the Palace/Mall etc in the sunshine.
I think The Bridge Tavern is going to see a very big spike in popularity this summer ?.

The group of lads from the village who are doing some insane challenges for charity got to light one of the Jubilee beacons earlier, really top set of lads, proud as punch of them ?

Charles and Camilla on Eastenders. I don‘t watch soaps these days, but my Mrs suggested I watch the last 10minutes or so. I have, and it was lovely and heartwarming. ???????????
