it’s waterproof man
Back at the coal face today, or the excuse of one. Got a few things to sort out for the next trefor.net Exec Dinner. Also bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Didn’t think I’d be buying another Samsung phone but this one is waterproof, has notionally the best camera and seems to come top of all the ratings so needs must.
Now spending time downloading all my apps.
Also thinking ahead to Isle of Man holiday dates. Am thinking of heading across before the main party to spend a few days with Dad. I like being in the Isle of Man on my own. Always do the same things but it’s a winning recipe. Peel is one of those timeless places. Not much changes. It’s a working fishing port and whilst it does get tourists they don’t really dominate.
As I write four of us kids are sitting in the conservatory either revising or tapping away at one’s laptop (ie me). There is vociferous birds song in the back garden highlighting the fact that spring is in full flow. We are even starting to think about the first BBQ of the season. How about that? Come to think of it i will have to find a pair of shorts, hidden away over the winter.
Just paid John’s subs for the cricket club. £35 for a family membership – 2 parents and a John. Very reasonable. John will be late starting to play this year due to his GCSEs. The Lindum CC is in a very handy spot for us being just down the road. It is very pleasant to go and watch john play on a warm summer’s afternoon and take in a couple of cold ones whilst doing so.
On a similar sporting note John has his name down in the ballot for Wimbledon tickets this year. When he first started playing at the Eastgate Tennis Club we seemed to have success every year and saw some good matches. Recent year have seen a lean spell but this year could be more promising – you had to register online and apparently not many from Eastgate have done so. Fingers crossed eh?
