You realise that has been stored away and will be used against you at some point in the future. Great line though
 
So after 4 weeks away with work and only managed 31 holes of golf in that time and the weather being, Mrs Wolf said I needed to unwind as I can't play golf today & deserve a treat booked me in for a 90minute full body massage with a lovely looking young swedish lady from her work, needless to say I've just had a very nice relaxing hour and a half and now I'm being taken out for dinner.
 
I'm not sure if this is gladdens or saddens the heart. Having a clean out of all my old audio stuff thats been accumulating for 20 odd years and I found a box with cassette tapes in it. They were full of my old mixes from 94 through to 97. So I dusted off the tape deck and bunged one on for a laugh.
It was me and a good mate of mine who used to do "back to back" mixes (one deck each having to mix in to whatever the other plays) and we used to have a laugh with Scottish "Tartan Techno" versus English Happy Hardcore. Always tricky to get right.
Sad part is, he died in 1997 in a road accident (hit by a drunk driver) and I found myself in tears listening to us play. I remember the mix too, July 1995 it was a hot summer so had the windows open in my room and the neighbours complaining. It really hit me but made me smile too.
So I decided to look out all the records we played and re-live the mix and fired the trusty 1210s up, felt like he was right there next to me again, and by the third track I was in tears again (Force & Styles - United in Dance, it was my mate's signature tune in his sets).

Lucky the fam is on holiday and no one saw me being a wet blouse. Took me some time to get my composure back.

Good times remembered. Good friends missed.

Just spent thirty minutes watching two bats on the wing flying around the back garden and now the hedgehog that's been coming for a few weeks has arrived and munching the food (proper hedgehog food from garden centre) and is stuffing his face and wandering the flower beds looking for slugs. We're a new (ish) house on a modern estate and so good to see wildlife out and about

Walking along seashore while watching the sunset is one of the best things to do that also bring happiness in our heart. For me, going to the beach is a great way to relax and enjoy!

Nothing wrong with being a "wet blouse" - emotions are what make us human.
 
Feeling pigged-off, having just hit a really good drive, to then knock your approach into one of our many water hazards but on 'looking to the heavens' see there are 4 or 5 Red Kite wheeling & tracking the landscape & soon with their young..... a beautiful, beautiful sight that always lifts the spirits.....
 
Get a short email today from the opposition coach saying that my team put in the best performance he has ever seen against them on Sat. The U11 boys will be uber-chuffed with that!

I've a big pile funeral service pamphlets of some my deceased friends, [ the ones that have their photo ] stored up in my shed.

I sometimes go up and have a wee drink with them when i'm feeling down.:love:

Finally being able to tell people that HID and I are expecting our first child. Had a few rocky moments early on, but finally seeing it on the scan screen made me much more emotional than I thought it would.

I just need to cram in as much golf as I can over the next few months.

Congratulations mate, welcome to a lifetime of spending money, sleepless nights and worry. You know what it's all 100% worth it to, there is nothing in this world more enjoyable than seeing your child grow, teaching them new things, seeing the smiles on their face and the feeling of unconditional love that being a parent brings. Savour every moment and welcome to the club (y)
