August
A new month - and it would seem for the time being some new weather. Although July ended wet and windy, for the most part it was a scorcher. Well August appears to have carried on in th same vein as the end of the month with it being a bit too windy and not quite sunny enough for my liking. Oh well, apparently it is supposed to improve and we will end up having a very nice month indeed.
Was pleased to see the Emiarates Stadium in all of it's glory recently when Channel 5 televised Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial against Ajax, it was the first game to played in the new ground and despite limiting the attendance to 55,000 or so, it looks a fantastic sight and a worthy new home replacing Highbury. Roll on the Premiership opener against Villa which I am going to try to get a ticket for but am not holding my breath.
All well on the majority of fronts, garden is looking very nice indeed after L's efforts over the weekend. Cats still being a real pain and waking us up at 5am every day, please no comments about my obvious lack of beauty sleep. Work still good, though with B leaving to be replaced by S I wonder what might actually change in the coming weeks for me and my career, will keep you posted if anything positive happens.
Been trying to help A at work as she is in a similar position to me career wise, I really hope that she gets the recognition she deserves as it would be a real shame is she felt that she had to move on, not only would I lose a friend and the Company would lose yet another of it's star pupils. Finger crossed for her.
England swept Pakistan aside in the 2nd Test Match at Old Trafford over the weekend, typical English weather lead to me missing the last 5 or so wickets as we went to do the food shopping while the players were off the pitch due to the rain, by the time I came back an hour later not only had the weather improved but England had strolled through the rest of the Pakistani batting order.
Onto Headingley for the third Test, England having replaced Geraint Jones behind the stumps with Nottinghamshire's Chris Read are hoping to build on the excellent 2nd test result and wrap the four test series up.
The weather came to bite us on the ar*e last Thursday as we entered into another round of Golf at the Shey Copse, torrential rain, thunder and lightning ended what was a fairly average round for me on the 5th hole, driving the Par 4 3rd hole and two putting for birdie (a net 2) was the only real highlight. Sympathies for S though as he was flying round and was on 16 points after 5 or 6 holes when the rest of us, fed up with being soaked to the skin finally called it a day.
Our friend J seems to be starting her long road to recovery after surgery on a very troublesome foot, we wish her all the very best as she starts her Physio shortly.
L is out at Pilates tonight, though apparently there was only her and her friend last week so they and the person who takes the class went to the pub instead, I wouldn't be surprised if something similar ended up happening tonight.
Looking forward to payday drinks Thursday, should be quite a few of us there and will give us an excellent opportunity to let our hair down.
Well that's all for now, hopefully I should be able to keep the blog up to date most days, please feel free to leave a comment and if you do, please leave your name.
Thanks
