Keeping an eye on the weather was key today as we looked to play golf in the afternoon. We spent the morning around the house as Scotty got some work done. I sat in the garden with a book I have been reading The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking. A book which keeps getting harder to follow the more u read. Around 12:30 we headed off to the golf club. On arrival you are required to pay a day membership, then pay for any activities on top. The facility as well as t...

Before heading to the gym we dropped the RAV4 off with a roadside mechanic to get the drivers window repaired. Once again I had the gym to myself at 09:30 in the morning. Scotty used the time to charge his laptop & get some work done. By the time we were done the window was repaired & we stopped off briefly at home. Cristel joined us for lunch at Steers. This in an American chain restaurant, whose food unfortunately wasn't great. At least the chips had s...

At 09:30 Scotty gave me a lift to the gym. He settled down to do some work as power was out again at the house. Running in the gym was easier this time as I had acclimatised somewhat.

We grabbed lynch of a quarter chicken & chips each in Alexzanders, a well laid out sports bar. Further drinks followed at Living ro...

In attendance were Cristel & her two children, & a lady Scotty hadn't met before & her two kids. It turned out that this woman was from Blyth, small world. The weather was lovely whilst Scotty cooked & we had a few drinks in the garden. We attempted some dart...

Up at 08:30 we got ready& headed over to the international school for football. When we arrived the manager stated we had 21players for today's game which was almost unheard of. Scotty started in centre midfield but had to come off in the first half with a knee injury. At half time it was 1-1. I made by one off appearance for Bishop Mckensies Old Boys & staff (BOBS) with 25mins remaining in place of Scottu's mate George who I met a few times. Playing in ...
