Things That Gladden The Heart

Just back from shopping in the local town. Had to slow down for a small group of Ibex, probably only 6 or 7 including 2 kids. You seriously don't want to argue with papa Ibex...

Will have to keep my eyes open - biggest thing I've seen so far is a tortoise.

Its so quiet this year we're seeing lots of wildlife. Boar every other week. Probably the 3rd time we've seen Ibex this summer. Reports of Lynx but not seen one yet. The odd fox - they are big!

Barb had a shock the other night whilst sat on the terrace. "Snake!"
 
Saw my daughter for the first time in a few weeks yesterday afternoon after doing some shopping for her, she's been isolating for 10 days since catching Covid and she was low on the basics, although bacon? I didn't think she liked it, I'm sure I've bought that for one of her flatmates :ROFLMAO:
First time I'd seen her since she moved into the Uni accommodation 3 weeks ago, socially distanced bag drops are the future is seems, the place is like Fort Knox :D
She's doing really well, feels much better so we're going to meet her for lunch in town on Sunday (y)
 
Winning the last Ladies Board Comp of the season yesterday. I've played the game for 10 years and for 9 of those tried really hard to get better. I didn't swing a club all winter and then lockdown came. No lessons, no practice and not much on course play once we re-opened and win two boarded comps in one season having never won one before.

In fact my one really bad round came in the Club Champs when I practiced on the range and carpet putted the week before.

Crazy game!

My baseball team, the Tampa Bay Rays, defeating the big bad Evil Empire New York Yankees in the playoffs.
Now in the last four - the World Series beckons.
What a time to be a Tampa sports fan.
 
Watching the joy of an 11 year old girl holing a putt on the 18th. I know her and her dad from when they play midweek and she has a lovely swing and is going to be a good golfer as she matures but has an absolute passion and love for the game. Her smile when she hits a good shot is infectious and she was so bubbly after that putt as a lot of us men were watching with our post match beers and she got a round of applause when she came in. Simple things
