We Scored Three Goals
Very quiet weekend comparatively – Martin was in bed ill all weekend so didn’t go out to play on Saturday evening so just stayed in and worked on Fri and Sat night. Just as well he was really, I played for the 3’s on Saturday again, up in Witney this time (who said I only…

Port & Brandy
Someone told me last week – sorry forgot who – that I should try this drink especially as port is one of my favourite tipples – full bodied wine as I prefer to think of it. I can’t stand brandy (and pretty much every other spirit in the rack) so was rather dubious about how…

Busy weekend as usual. Friday night John and I had a c4u board meeting – in the Waggon, it was very productive too … probably. Bumped into quite a few robertswood dads who were on their way to the George. It was quite a relief to get in the pub as had to work rather…

October Half Term
It is half term this week so I decided to take two days off work. As it turned out, I went for a meal at the Milton’s Head in Chalfont St Giles with the family and have worked for the rest of it. We had a very pleasant meal there and very reasonably priced indeed.I…

Spending Review?
What Spending review – hardly worth the media drama – real spending is going up over the next few years – surely the point of the exercise was to get in back in line with the growth it should have had post 2001 before labour tried to buy their way back to power and then…
Got any book recommendations?
