Quiet day on the wildlife front with one fox visit at around twenty past midnight this morning and a couple of hedgehog sightings at ten to eleven pm and twenty to two am. Interesting how some nights they can be very active but on others spend it all in someone else’s garden. Not seen a muntjac for a while. I wonder if it smells the scent of fox and stays clear.
Was discussing the fox with “Tony next door” and “Karen down the road” on the bus home from town. I’d been for lunch at the White Horse with @Phil and @Keith. A good pint of TT Landlord fair play although I made a mistake in ordering the spicy fries with the burger. Should have gone plain. £18 for burger and a beer was not bad with a £2 upgrade to the house special burger though tbh I’d probs have been fine with the regular cheese job. Settled for a simple fish finger sandwich for dinner later.
Not v often I join the great unwashed on the bus home from town. Had planned to walk but you know what it’s like once you’ve had a beer. That basically wrote the rest of the day off although I did squeeze in a conference call with Tracey and Manuel at four pm. You will be pleased to know that the guided tour of Pompeii has been sorted. Our man Marco from Milan gets all the credit.
Have removed to my conservatory before breaking the fast this morning as it is such a nice sunny day out. Bodes well for the golf this afternoon although it is no guarantee of a good score. Also great growing conditions for the meadow. It gets watered every day and the greenery is really starting to come along nicely.
My Facebook timeline reminded me that ten years ago today I had arrived in St Bees in Cumbria for the start of the coast to coast walk. Was a beautiful sunny day in total contrast with the next day which was a raging storm. Maybs I’ll share pics of that walk over the next fortnight.

Popped down to Antonio’s barbers but there was a queue so I thought I’d pass. I do need a haircut but will have some time to kill in Liverpool at the weekend and can get shorn there.

Full moon tonight driving back from golf. I got best gross and a birdie but won no coin. Being the end of the month the handicaps get reworked. Lost two balls which is unusual for me. Another fox visit at 19:38.
