Got back from trip late Saturday, tired. So glad to be home. LAZY on Sunday. Going a little food shopping today. Husband stayed down in Gulfport till Feb. 8, so still me, on another vacation---here at home. Will be a nice dry week, so more leaf relocation is on the list for a few days. Massage scheduled on Thursday. Have a Robert Burns party to go to on Feb. 4th. Several movies on list to see on TV. puttering about house, cleaning etc. that is it.

Guess those high paid weather people got it wrong---again---raining/snowing this morning. In house for me to do stuff.

I've been busy today, doing a bit of. "multi-taskin'

Watching cricket on the telly over my laptop showing live tennis.

Did nothing in the garden today as brother and sister-in-law came over. He fitted us a new mantle he had made, rehung the sticking bathroom door and put his damp meter on the liftin parquet floor in the living room, it's fine, needs some new bitumen under it and then bedding back in. A very useful person to have around for the day.
At one point he wanted a Stanley knife. I found three, all with rusty old blades, so I changed them all; they all had different designs to hold them together.

Raining today, so nothing.

Played golf today as usual.
On a par three, one of my partners put his ball 18 inches from the pin. Mine landed six feet from it, rolled towards the pin, hit it and ended up six inches from the hole. So nearly a hole in one!
That would have cost me a bottle of whisky!

I've previously over time had two hole in ones in different years.

On the average golf course there are usually twelve par fours, two par fives and four par threes.
So in a round of golf you get four chances.
If like me, you play say, three times a week, you get twelve chances.
If you play fifty weeks in a year, that's 600 chances.
Ten years, 6000 chances.
Twenty years as I have done, 12,000 chances!

So a hole in one really isn't anything special.
You could say I ought to have had more.
In the same time scale, some will have had them and others never.

That's golf for you.

One of my dogs is having trouble with a ear hematoma. 2 weeks ago took him to the vet and she said that it will go down by itself. A week later it was getting bigger so back to the vet and she drained it with a needle and syringe, she said that it will take 4 weeks to go down.It was alright for a few days but now it's come back and a bit worse. I've googled it and it should go down by itself.

Getting ready /working on the many trips we will be taking this summer. Total of 8, trips. 6 of which are to Car shows with our car. So locking in the hotel at the show site, and any hotels along the way to give driver a break of towing the trailer. Have to make sure a few things in place, ample space to park trailer, walking distance to a restaurant, calculating miles versus hours of driving. Finding best routes. When my eyes are tired of that all, I go out into the garden to do something. Or maybe have a nice martini. The other 2 trips involve working out a trip to Nova Scotia. and a trip to Ohio for a class reunion and visit family. In the meantime I get guilty of leaving my 19 year old cat all that time when we are gone. Yes, she has a good person to look after her, but not the same. oh, well.

The missus wants a new bed, so we have been visiting bed shops , looking at frames and mattresses. I am supposed to be involved in this process, but I find it really difficult. If I can go horizontal I can go to sleep, the only problem I would have with a second hand mattress on the floor would be getting back up vertical, I'm getting old. I don't really have an opinion to give when i am asked, I am not really being awkward.

 

[Sean Regan]

We've had the same bed for years, nice real wood headboard but the base it just wooden slats.
For us, it's all about the mattress. We've had a quality Dormeo for a few years.
Very happy with it.

Never saw the use in golf (cow pasture pool).Are you an executive? Ive been told the more educated and higher your job, the smaller your balls. basket ballers have as a general rule menial labor jobs,
