Things That Gladden The Heart

Our emergency services... My lad got knocked off his machine this morning... He advised all that attended to him, at the scene, were five star... As all have been in A+E... Fortunately his injuries will repair... Not so sure it will be the same for his beloved red machine...
 
Strongbow with ice. Just back from a supermarket run... 4 cans for €3.50. 29* and humid today means a long cold drink is essential.
 
Picking the pups up from the kennels after a rare night away - they were beside themselves with joy to see us, and then home to snooze the rest of the day away.

As Barley spent over 6 months in kennels we worry he'll worry he's been abandoned again but imagine Daisy saying to him "they'll be back - they love us too much...or at least me anyway"!
 
1st womens derby @ Citeh yesterday with wife and daughter. Daughters first game and she loved it, albeit through blue lenses!

Crowd all mixed in together, none of the crap you get with the men's game.Great to see

They both want tickets for the next game now.
 
Freshly dug new potatos, and freshly picked runner beans, straight from the garden. Lovely. Had a nice bit of steak with them, and some Campo Viejo to wash it all down.
Luvvly jubbly

HID cooked some tomato and pepper soup all freshly grown and has just picked a huge amount of runner beans (seems an abundance this year). Got loads of apples from the trees around the course and so dinner tonight will be home made soup, crusty rolls and freshly baked apple crumble and home made custard
 
Nearing the end of the bowls season, playing in the drawn sweep, cracking game, all playing well, close game after about 10 ends, playing 13
My skip calls down 'what's the score' and my opponent looks at me in shock.
We thought one of the skips was scoring.:eek:
 
Having complained about Addenbrookes in Random Irritations they have found themselves into this thread today. Ok so the journey there via A14/M11 well and truly belongs in Random Irritations but I can't fault the hospital once there. Quickly in for eye test and eye pressure test then a short wait for check up. Very niice Doctor was a little unsure about my eyes so got the consultant to come and check them too. Very efficient and thorough and (touch wood) no need to return. Still no contact lenses though and cannot play well in glasses - on the upside not seeing far enough means I can't see dodgy bounces and moan about them!
