Things That Gladden The Heart

Mother nature... Yesterday, taking a walk around the Water Gardens [Cliveden] a member of staff rocked up to feed the Koi... This almost immediately gained the attention of the resident Heron... Who moved from his usual position to be alongside the staff member... After some exchanged glances which seemed to indicating for the oppo to be getting on with it... Which he duly did... Most of the Koi are way to big for the Heron but he remained fully attentive poised... Unfortunately for one of the smaller specimens he made a successful strike taking a nice example of about six inches for lunch... Great scene played out in front of an attentive audience...
 
My neighbour has his 3 cars professionally washed and valeted by every Friday the same 2 guys while he's at work, even today while it's pouring down :ROFLMAO:

I recall my first concert without him and the tribute they paid :cry:

If you haven't seen this before you might enjoy it, it's the Big man's version of how they met;

"One night we were playing in Asbury Park. I'd heard The Bruce Springsteen Band was nearby at a club called The Student Prince and on a break between sets I walked over there. On-stage, Bruce used to tell different versions of this story but I'm a Baptist, remember, so this is the truth. A rainy, windy night it was, and when I opened the door the whole thing flew off its hinges and blew away down the street. The band were on-stage, but staring at me framed in the doorway. And maybe that did make Bruce a little nervous because I just said, "I want to play with your band," and he said, "Sure, you do anything you want." The first song we did was an early version of "Spirit in the Night". Bruce and I looked at each other and didn't say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each other's lives. He was what I'd been searching for. In one way he was just a scrawny little kid. But he was a visionary. He wanted to follow his dream. So from then on I was part of history."

Played today in a memorial day competition for Teena who ran the half-way hut for years and sadly passed away during lockdown. Course completely rammed with 4 balls which was lovely to see as we were unable to give her the send off she deserved (although wouldn't have wanted).

Miss her around the place very much and in a week when a fellow player told me to "shut the .... up" and I had a run in with the Course Chairman it would have been lovely to stop and tell her all about and laugh about it too.

Hope she was looking down (or up!) and seeing the high regard she was, and is, held in.
 
Aaarrgh, woke up to the email this morning, went straight online, sold out everywhere ?

GAME decided to open their preorders at midnight last night without any warning which was good of them. I managed to secure one from Amazon just after 9 this morning. Currys website has been down all morning so not sure if they've even managed to sell any yet, and a site I like to use shopto.net hasn't put their preorders up yet, and Amazon haven't listed the Digital version for preorder yet so still be a chance to get one.

I'm registered with about 8 different shops for pre sale notification ?
