Our brightly lit kitchen contrasts strikingly with the miserable February morning out there. Gloomy. I have a home made bagel (yes, yes another THG talent – worragal!) in the Dualit toaster and some bacon under the grill. Gotta set myself up for the day as there is a big rugby club funeral to go to. Terry Cleaver, Tex, was a legend at Lincoln RFC and I imagine there will be a huge turnout.
There are loads of stories about Tex. I remember watching a game once and at half time all the spectators hot footed it to the bar. Tex walked in in his playing kit so I bought him a pint thinking must only be playing the first half. He downed that beer and then strolled out to play the second half. Tex was always the judge in tour court sessions and attained his legendary status by missing the flight home on the Prague Easter tour along with Paul Clarke. Couldn’t find the way back to the hotel having not slept for three nights. That tour was the first in living memory where we actually brought some kitty back with us. Beer was that cheap. We drank the rugby club dry for £57! Today I’ll be wearing my Prague Tour tie out of respect. RIP Tex.
No fox news to report since Sunday but I did get some video footage at 3.28pm as it strolled around the garden for a bit.
Gloomy or not, THG has gone out running with the Pink Ladies Running Club.
