Hi,

Some updates, have to be quick, have neddies to feed.

Playing golf tomorrow, no idea who with, Trish has arranged
it, I am playing on a 'Women's Day' at the local Awatere Golf Club.
Mal has very kindly loaned me his late wife's clubs.
Have no idea what they look like, suspect the woods really will be woods.



I get Wed off hurrah - but work Sunday to make up for it. Boo.

Trish is doing the dreaded Kip McGrath's run today - hurrah !

I cooked a beef casserole last night - hurrah !
Roast potatoes would not brown - boo
Decided to grill them - hurrah !
Almost set fat alight - boo
They were delicious - hurrah !
Not enough for me, cos I had miscounted - boo
Genevieve didn't want hers & gave them to me - hurrah !

My weekend is organised already. Races on Saturday, during the day.
Eng - Australia rugby in the evening at Mal's.
Horse show on Sunday with the twins, Vinny & Paddy who I have not
met yet.

Big Blog hugs to Weeny & hubby, involved in a scary-sounding
crash in France thanks to some useless female frog driver.
Both shaken but thankfully not injured.

It would appear Weeny's mog 'Tarmac' may have joined 'Boy'
(we haven't found him yet) in pet heaven as she has had
reports he may have been run over whilst she was away.

Hope the mog you look at is not him & your boy turns up safe & well.
