The Olympics are here and from
all accounts seem to be going off very smoothly, London business is dead but
hey ho the Olympics are going along gaily. I personally think the Olympics are
all about Politicians and has been Olympic athletes trying to be one better
than the last country to have them. Waste of money and all for 2 weeks of
obscure sports we never watch and some do not even get a mention on television.
Talking of sport, those South
African cricketers are not that bad as the feeder team to the English
international team, I can see some of them being poached for the next World
Cup. Last I looked SA had 419 all out and the English team were 81 for 1, day
three, if we have a result is doubtful but then SA could get us out
cheaply, put on a few more runs and then we collapse, game over.
The summer is still a way off for
us, overcast and windy seems to be the prevailing weather and set for the next
month, gloom and doom for those who enjoy the sun. We always tend to talk about
the weather, why the fascination? I suppose it is something we can all feel and
experience at the moment so is something to share.
Susan and I are still running and
doing the circuit exercises every 2nd day, feeling really good, hope
I have the will power to persist when the sun gets lower in the sky and the
temperature drops for winter. We tend to hibernate come the autumn and running
on an icy surface is a challenge.
It is Robert’s birthday this
coming Saturday and we are at a loss to know what to get him, his expectations
are very high, higher then we want to go. He wants an Apple iPhone 4 S, £499.00, almost the price of a small, 2nd handcar!!
I did promise him a iMac if he gets 4 A’s and an A* for his GCSE’s, so might
have to cough up for that at the end of the month.
Children are very
expensive and my advise to anyone wanting to take the leap and have one or two,
go for it they worth every penny. I have five and all have been a test but have
grownup to be great. I have always admired them and loved the differences and
similarities they have shown throughout their lives. In my latter years I do
find I am calling Michael, Mark and Robert, Gary but that is just age and not
the fact that they are so alike. Michael does also take after Angela in a lot
of ways, never suffers fools gladly and has strong views that do not get
changed easily. Where I fit in is anyone’s guess.
I ramble so enjoy your weekend and speak soon.
