Things That Gladden The Heart

Just had my 9 yr old son helping to marinade a leg of lamb we'll be putting on the Weber for some low and slow smoking....get the charcoal going and it's Father and son caveman time, perfect!
 
Wee shout out to Odeon films.
We were given a gift card for Christmas and when presented it would not work.
Manager gave us two comps [£18] and he said he would check it out and phone the next day. He kept the card
No reply after about 10 days so being a bit of a nerd I tried to contacted the site and found out they had a centralised system.
I then contacted head office who said they would look into it and get the site to ring me. 3 months passed.

Last week I went back to the site to see Fishermans Friend [excellent BTW]. Sought out the manager who could not find the card so gave me two top seats [£24] comps. I though that would be the end of it and was quite happy as I had £42 of seats for my £25 voucher.
This morning I got a very apologetic letter from them with a £20 voucher.
 
A couple more steps forward, on my road to recovery, completed yesterday...

Braved using an escalator and didn't end up on my arse (y)...
Bit of a wobble on dismount but that was it...

And, as we were on the south coast had a walk on the beach at Deal...
Not sure my ankle fully appreciated the extra articulation being asked of it...
But again, for me, a bit of a positive step...

Still hoping I am going to be fit enough to get 9 holes in before the end of summer...

Part 2
I parked behind my wife's old car at the petrol station today and asked the old boy, who was dressed on jeans, trainers and baseball cap, if he was enjoying driving it.
I said it was in good condition one careful little ol lady driving it from new.
He replied that it is now being driven by a little ol man aged 92.:eek:
Wow, he did not look a day over 80.
 
Sat in our favourite little Spanish bar in the village. Apart from HID, not another Brit in the place. As families came and left, we were included in all the buzz going around.

A grandma with daughter and new granddaughter came in. Typically of reserved Brits we sat back, but no you will hold the baby and you will be expected to join in all the cooing.

There’s just something special about the community spirit over. Our Spanglish is improving no end. Hell I even argue about which Spanish teams are the best.

Brexit? What Brexit?
 
My new 3 wood!
It's suddenly made my driver behave and, on Thursday, I hit 9 out of 9 fairways with it ............................ long, too!
Only used the 3 wood twice!
