A grand day out in London yesterday. Did have a bit of sorting to do when we arrived at the restaurant as someone was sat at our table. I’d booked a table for five in the window for one pm and a different five people had rocked up at twelve thirty and plonked themselves down. The waitress just assumed we had turned up early. Fortunately she was able to move them to another table downstairs. Downstairs is no good. No windows. Turned out ok in the end. My steak was a bit on the tough side but a good time was had by all.
Busy busy busy today. Got a carpet fitter coming at ten to put down the vinyl flooring in the workshop. Could have done it myself but figured that for the sake of a few quid we might as well get it done professionally. After that we can start making it look like a workshop. Exciting eh? Don’t worry, pic to follow.
This pm is if it’s Thursday it must be golf. Not everyone can make it but we should have three of us there. We do sometimes have up to six of us which makes it quite a lot longer a round. At the end of one summer we played the top course as an eightball. We were last to tee off so didn’t hold anyone up. Problem was it got dark before we managed to finish. It wasn’t helped by the fact that on one hole we played down the wrong fairway and ended up playing a couple of holes twice. Then we took a short cut to the eighteenth where I then appeared to have lost my ball. I stuck another one down but when we got to the green found that someone else had played mine by mistake. I just played my first ball from where it lay on the green. He he he.
Very autumnal feel out there. Still shorts weather but I have a fleece on in the shed. I like the way that nature eases us from summer into autumn. This year we have a few outdoor bits that still need doing before the full force of winter arrives. One of the potting shed windows needs replacing and another needs a new sill splicing in. At least it’s dry. I should be able to finish off putting away the gazebo. Need to wipe the bird poo off the canopy first! The biggest question is will the canopy fit in the pocket of the bag? It looks as if it is supposed to but not sure I’ll be able to pack it up compactly enough. Soon find out innit.
