Strange days

When Mum and Dad moved down to Eastbourne they took a long time resident of Chalfont St Peter to look after her - Betty Walpole. She used to tell some great stories about Chalfont St Peter, what is was like during the war having lived in Glebe Road all her life. She died aged 89 today in Eastbourne. My Godfather Bob Hudson who is also with them in Eastbourne (well in a home) is also very ill apparently.

On a brighter note, waded through loads of work today - few new photos on www.powerbox.org.uk, finished my June invoicing at long last, a load of updates to British Battles including the Battle of Trafalgar. Still loads to do for the rest of the week - though would like to go to the NSE enquiry again - I think SENSE are giving evidence this week.

Interesting discussion just been started over at the Sports Club Forum - wonder if everything will be flushed out on it or whether it'll gently peter out - hopefully whatever is said will maintain decorum.

Rebecca was at home today - she really is super cool first birthday in 9 days - sarah said she is moments away from walking properly - she realises what is going on now! Sarah took her for a walk round black park today then to Grandmas.

Playing hockey tomorrow evening for the second xi / badgers - only have 3 or 4 youngsters though - dificult to get them to commit to anything - only one of them is really keen! Playing Eastcote - no idea what sort of team they are going to turn up with. I have a couple more fixtures to get as well as I have a couple of pitches - but struggling to find anyone to play us.

Currently listening to New Order, Retro disk 3 - Club mixes - rather good too. Also been listening to Cream Gold disk one today - taken a while but growing and Audioslave out of exile.
