Things That Gladden The Heart

After three cold or freezing but dry days, today is overcast, dry and a little warmer. And so the ground can defrost and start to drain. We still have a loop of three holes not in play due to a very wet area in the middle hole of the three, but that's it. Hopefully that'll dry up enough by the weekend and we'll be back to 18.
 
Today - first day feeling better after 72 hours of an especially nasty stomach bug!! (I'll leave it at that! :-) )

So,
  • I've lost 5 pounds in 3 days!!! :sick:
And, in between calls
  • I've booked all the accommodation for my Golf Society's longer trips!
  • Sorted most of the logistics for this year's Glyn Mc-Mega-Meet - saved a fortune by not flying, but could have saved more if Donna hadn't given me one of her looks when I uttered the immortal phrase "Minibus from Glasgow?" :-)
  • Sorted the annual end of Feb trip to Burnham!
Roll on Spring
 
First round of the gents club championship(no handicap) at the bowling club. I'd drawn the red hot favourite, who had got to 4 finals this last season. Well there's one he won't make! The newest bowler on the green... chuffed doesn't even come close.

In order; I've lost in one singles semi, been part of a winning triple, q/f to play in another, semi to play in another. Maybe being a Whippersnapper isn't too bad after all.

Daisy loves a sock. She has plenty of her own but prefers to steal ours - either from the dirty or clean laundry! She does bring them to us with the cutest look on her face "can I keep it"? :love:

BANDIT !!!
 
It's the little things.

My wife is in agony with her back at the moment, keeping her off work and I've been taking the kids to school. My daughter risked getting in trouble at school for using her phone and rang her to say that she was worried about her and wanted to make sure she was ok, was talking some tablets and not doing anything to make it worse.

Bless.
 
My Mrs has started to sleep better. It's been quite a while.

A number of worries are being dealt with. Sometimes so much piles on at once that we can pretty much collapse under the combined weight of it all.

Her new job - she's dealt with an issue she had with her mentor and she is getting on top of the complete IT block she had using the systems; my son is engaging with me positively so we can together sort out his grim debt issues; she has reached a point of acceptance over our son's utterly feckless and selfish girlfriend; she has put boundaries up on her interactions with a close friend who is always right - about everything - is highly critical of all and sundry - and has severe 'woe is me' issues. And she is coping OK at the moment with her BCiR (Breast Cancer in Remission).
