Things That Gladden The Heart

I know but what a waste of money they didn't have but as you say, there is still Moor Lane with the excellent custom fit area.
Glad you enjoyed the Christmas market

Does seem a bit over kill to have 2 in such close proximity especially opening a 2nd one on a retail park with nothing more than a net to hit balls in knowing the other has more offer in terms of range, custom fit etc. Little naivety perhaps as far as business acumen goes or could you just call it greed in hope to saturate the market ahead of competition.
 
There's a good children's film [ not animated ] called " Zeus and Roxanne " it's about a dog and a dolphin.
I've kept it on my DVD hard drive for years, every time we play it our dog goes absolutely mental without fail, jumping up and down barking at the screen.
We sometimes play it when she's lying sound asleep :devilish: and she's up like a shot as soon as the music starts, she watches it for ages. :love:
 
Special roast dinner with the family yesterday. Exquisite bubble and squeak for dinner today

What more could anyone want !
 
The New England Patriots getting screwed on the last play of the game by a fluke TD in Miami. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of liars and cheats. Almost made up for the Bucs playing like crpa in the second half of their game with New Orleans.

And Australia lost at cricket too.
 
Going to the best Fish gig I've been to on Saturday night at the Islington Assembly Rooms (and me and the big man go back a very long way!!). His voice the best its been in decades and a superbly tight band. Doris Brendel's band as warm up were brilliant and she's a terribly under rated performer. Quick chat back stage and dropped off my festive bottles and goodies to the band and a quick beer or two in the hotel bar to finish. Great nights sleep in the Hilton, breakfast and a morning in London with the wife just strolling around. Back in the pub for a Sunday roast by a real log fire and a few beers and back for an early night. Didn't give golf a second thought especially after seeing the strong winds and squally showers first thing Saturday when I should have been playing. A fantastic weekend and only in two days this week. Homer in a distinctly glass overflowing kind of mood.
 
Day off work today.
Woke this morning to find the dog looking surprised that I was at home and not at work.
That wagging tail and look of total devotion makes me glad to be a dog owner. She’s a pain sometimes but my Beagle gladdens my heart every day.................................. now where’s the lead, walkie time!
 
Liverpool players on their annual visit to Alder Hey children’s hospital just now.

So not my heart, but the scores of sick kids they’re about to cheer up.

Manchester United's players did the same yesterday. "It was great to see them smile even for a few minutes with all the despair they've gone through" said 6-year old cancer patient Davie.
