Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

Yes! they really managed to harmonise well particularly where the jazz chords were required.

This was much easier for them.



I'm still getting to grips with this piano. There's 175 buttons 10 sliders 5 dials plus the foot controls. What else... Oh yeah.. It's also got 76 keys.

 

I bought a tower fan from Wilko's.
We've got a conventional one on a stand for the bedroom and one for the lounge. But this is for the front room. They aren't really necessary yet, but as soon as the really hot weather starts, they fly off the shelves.

I remember a few years ago when we hadn't actually gone in for one, we were about to buy one in B&Q, on a really scorching hot day. They'd sold out of every kind except the last one, which we picked up and put in our trolley. Just as we did, a young couple came up to what was now an empty display. They had a new baby in a pram. They were obviously wanting a fan for the baby. So we said they could have the one we were going to buy. The girl was so grateful she had tears in her eyes. We got another for the lounge the following week...when it was raining!

 

That's so kind of you.

 

We've got those tower fans, haven't had to use it yet.

 

Played golf today, I usually take a pack of mini sausage rolls to eat and share after we've played 9 holes and before we play the 10th. Most of us stop for at least a drink. But I'd forgotten to buy any. Fortunately I always keep a Hobnob bar in my golf bag, for occasions like this. So I got it out and started to unwrap it. Just then, I looked down and six feet away from me was a fox. He was looking at the bar. So I chucked it to him, he picked it up and ran off with not a word of thanks!

Foxes are very bright, over the years, they've learned to hang around the tenth tee, in the hope of getting fed. Some years there's none, as in the wild they don't live that long. There's sometimes four families of foxes on our course in different places, but they are territorial, so only one family would be in that area. We don't always see them, but the greens staff do as they are wizzing about on mowers early in the morning and can cover a wide area, so more chance of seeing one.

 

Where i walk the boys around the housing estate, some of the paths are being re surfaced. They started on Tuesday did one part, put the large bits down and dissarpeared.



The markings are green for cables
Blue for water
Red for electrical
and there's a yellow for gas.

 

Must be shallow cables and pipes or very deep tarmac or bad users of the diggers and showels

 

All three i think, they're shallow cables and pipes.
They mark them so that they can accidentally cut into one.

 

Or two, Gas and Elecy, boom

 

Son came round, stayed for 3 hours.
Then walked the boys, going to have dinner now.
