Even though the weather has been better this summmer, it's been a difficult time with starting a new business in the middle of a recession ......so a lot of anxiety and money worries. Nothing on the romance side either - so I've had better summers.
However, I've just been thinking ...... I've had a bloody good week. And I'm grateful for that.
It went like this:
Saturday ....... went to Exeter. Crap result but I still enjoyed my day. Beers and a good crowd of people (cheers, Dave Mehmet!). Great to meet and catch up with other Lifers at the ground.
Sunday ........Sunny afternoon so went down the beach. We've got a good wild coastline and empty sands.
Evening, went round friends to watch a film (about 7 of us). We did too many bottles of red wine for a school night. Hay-ho.
Monday...... Football. played Old Gits v Youngsters (18-25 year olds). There's some talented youngsters and they've got quick feet, but we beat them after being 2 goals down. All back to pub after for a few bevies.
Tuesday ......Open Mic night at the Random Arms. Some good pro musicians, but this young bird turned up with a little box harp. Had everyone spellbound. Something really different.
Wednesday ..... Sunny evening so slaughtered the garden. Nothing more satisfying than a decent bonfire!
Thursday...... Invited to a Preview at Art Exhibition in Plymouth. Knew many of the artists and great night, well lubricated with copious supply of free red wine.
Friday ...... Went with a bunch of friends to a 'Last Night at the Proms' concert in an amphitheatre on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Didn't think it was my sort of thing so nearly never went ....but brilliant! Loony English eccentricity at it's best, loads of hooters and whistles, flag-wagging, everyone joining in with Land of Hope & Glory, Rule Britannia, Jerusalem, dancing in the aisles and silliness. Must go again next year!
And this affternoon I was asked if I wanted to do a job for 3 weeks working with young people - in France!
Plane and transport sorted for me, leave at 8:30 am in the morning. Marseille here I come!
What about you lot.......?
