Things That Gladden The Heart

43 years of a happy union being celebrated...

Owner of Reading has given all supporters free coach travel to 15 furthest away 'away' games. Might even get to the Riverside.

Commendable. Although watching supporters cars steam past you on the slow coach gets frustrating knowing you could be travelling twice as fast!

I found out how to type using my voice, brilliant.
The trouble is it doesn't always wink work

Lovely day at Inverewe gardens and Gairloch museum.

Arrived home to find my 2 youngest girls had made cakes. Littlest had made a special one for daddy all proud when she went to give it to me in the kitchen and she promptly dropped it on the floor bless her floods of tears followed. So Daddy picked it up gave it a little blow it and eat it anyway told her it was the best cake ever. Eating that floor covered cake made her beam with a big smile and washed away the tears. So it was worth eating for that alone.

Watching members of our military and emergency services working their socks off to save the day at Whaley Bridge...

Here's hoping for complete success...

The office do-gooder getting stung, on what I can only assume was his nipple, trying to usher an agitated wasp out of the window.

This morning a wasp had got in our office and was busy scaring/annoying people (depending on their disposition). Numerous attempts to swat it failed. A colleague contacted the maintenance team who borrowed him an aerosol to sort out the aggressive so and so. At this point the do-gooder got involved, refusing to allow the wasp to be sprayed to death and attempted to waft it out of the window.

Cue a lot of noise and commotion, blinds being fully opened and several attempts to free it failing. The whole floor was now watching. I don't know how it happened, but one of the wafts caught the wasp on the downswing, pushing it directly into the do-gooder. On contact the wasp stung him through his shirt, causing what can only be described as a squeal to come from his mouth. Genuinely one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

We had a SLT meeting 9-10, throughout which the do-gooder was clutching his left breast as if mid heart attack. I had to excuse myself as me and another colleague made eye contact and I couldn't hold it together.

After the stinging, the wasp met it's demise via a sharp dink with a sink strainer thing, after it landed on the fruit bowl.

Another amazing performance by my boy Barley at yesterday's agility competition. Three runs, three clears, three rosettes and promoted to the next level in only his 3rd ever competition (and mine)! A 9 year old Lab sticking it to the young collies. So proud of him although he thinks rosettes are not to be trusted and possibly bitten!!

The acceptance speech from Ms Shibuno at Woburn...

Also great to see so many spectators lining the fairways...

 

[AmandaJR]

Ms Shibuno full stop. Plays freely, quickly (relatively) and with a huge smile...hope she never changes.

Indeed. Very refreshing to watch

What a thoroughly fantastic and lovely young lady.
This week has been a fabulous advert for womens golf.

Absolutely.
I think we can all learn something from her on-course demeanour.
I think a lot of golf fans fell in love with her today, I know I did.

Apparently, when she was waiting to play her approach to 18 and she said to her coach/caddy " if I shank this it will be embarrassing"
On the 72nd hole of her first Major needing a birdie to win...
The Lady has Steel ones!

Had a great lads day yesterday at The Tank Museum at Bovington with my 2 sons (mum stayed at home) incredibly interesting, too much to see in one day really but we did our best. Great value too, £13 for adults and £8.50 for under 16s. Price of entry gives you a year pass as well.
