A simple breakfast this morning. 2 slices of not exactly fresh sourdough toast with a glass of milk. Sourdough makes good toast and this loaf had been in the fridge for knocking on a week. Joe’s mates brought a lot of bread with them when they came for the bbq last week. All that’s left now are crappy pre-sliced burger buns. Doubt they’ll get eaten. In fact as I write THG has chucked em in the food caddy.
Knackering game of golf yesterday. Need to get golf fit which playing more often will do. We’ve moved on, mostly, from Laughterton to Pottergate. I got 3 pars on the front nine but had a terrible back nine. Dropped the car off at home and went to the Lion and Snake as Coops had a 40% discount voucher on mains for the duration of the World Cup. We ordered 3 burgers and a gammon steak. The burgers arrived almost immediately, having no doubt been microwaved, but weren’t very good. My gammon came after everyone else had finished their food. It was edible but perhaps overcooked. Afterwards we went to the Prince of Wales for a beer to finish.
Poor old Ajax was down in the dumps. His bank had invited him to corporate hospitality at Silverstone on Sunday for the British Brand Prix. His wife Sue said he couldn’t go as they are throwing a bbq on Saturday and they would need Sunday to clear up. Gutted is an inadequate description of his feelings. It must be one of the best hospitality gigs you can get. Anyway we are all going to the BBQ and will have a great time I’m sure. Will try not to mention the F1. THG said if it was her she’d have let me go as she does all the clearing up anyway!
This morning I’m on to Llanpumsaint for the will transcribing. I’ve already done Llanllwni, Llanfihangel ar Arth, Llangeler, Llanybydder, Llandysul, Llanwenog, Llanllawddog and Cynwyl Elfed. Nearly finished now. Must have well over 3,000 wills transcribed. The point is I can then give AI the job of determining family relationships across the area. I already think I may have found my 10th great grandfather. Not sure yet. Would have been an impossible job without AI or at least taken years.
Small bird just came for a drink at the lake. Wren maybe. Not totes sure. Had its back to me mostly. It caught some movement when I went for my camera and flew off before I could take a pic. The deck is a great place to sit in the morning at this time of year. All day really. We are in for another heatwave next week. Been mulling over investing in air conditioning for the shed. It would only really be used in anger for a handful of days in the summer. Would have been v handy last week when the temperatures hit 35+ degrees. We ain’t geared for such weather here in the UK.
I have a free morning this morning. Might wander down to tesco as we need more milk and butter. Discovered that the butter I spread on my toast was unsalted. Norrabiggie. Probs do some watering in the greenhouse too. Stuff like that. Important stuff.
