Long weekend

L and I took the Friday and Monday off, and we busied ourselves as the sun shone.

Friday my Mum and Dad came up and we went over to the Suit Hire shop to get Dad into his suit for the wedding. All went well and he looked grand. We then headed to The White Hart in Holybourne for lunch, which was fantastic, I thoroughly recommend a vist.

Friday evening was spent in our usual haunt of Reeds, where L and I put the world to rights over a couple of beverages.

Saturday: L was out part of the day so I chilled out. Our friend J came round in the evening and I cooked up with Quorn Fajitas for us.

Sunday: Off to Hayling Island, weather was fantastic, pitch and putt was a good laugh.

Monday: L out with her Mum during the day so I popped to town to do a few jobs, then cut the grass. Evening over to the Queens for our dinner and to see the owner who also runs the Disco that we are using for the Wedding, food was fantastic.

Tuesday: I went upto Earls Court to attend the London Book Fair as my Company have a stand there each year, a long tiring day but always interesting and great to demo the new product and chat with Customers.

First golf of the year

Having watched the Masters over the Easter weekend and with the weather being so fantastic, it was time to dig the golf clubs out of the cupboard and get back into the swing of things.

G and I went over to Hoebridge to play the Shey Copse course that we play our work competition on, course unsurprisingly was in really good condition, but despite that the Shey Copse course were still using mats for the tees, hopefully that should change soon.

A shared bucket of balls on the range and we were ready to take on the course, it was quite starnge to out there again, I really cant believe where the Winter has gone especially now it's April already.

Anyway a great start as I chipped in on the first for 2 and the opening birdie of the year. Slightly loose on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th with 6,5 and 4 scored, before a solid 5 iron and PW to to 15 feet on the 5th left me a nasty downhill breaking putt, which I had originally been happy to get close, I holed for another birdie. 2 over after 5 holes.

Then came my nemesis hole, the 6th, on the face of it it is not really difficult, and I could really play it more simply than I do simply by taking a 3 iron off the tee. But no, buoyed by the birdie at 5, the Driver came out and I pushed my tee shot into the very sparsly populated trees. Chipped back out, PW over the back, chip back on two putts for a 6.

The 7th currently has major work being caiired out on the green and therefore a temporary "green" is in place. I say "green", because it's grass is the same length as the fairway and through use is actually in worse condition than the fairway. Almost impossible to take seriously, so we didn't.

8th is similar to the 6 a longish straight hole with trees either side of a fairly generous fairway. Teeing off of the Red tees, as they were grass rather than mats, we gained ourselves 30 yards, and I hit my drive of the day, a 3 wood that stopped 4 or 5 yards short of the green. A chip on, and leaving myself a donwhill 15 footer managed to sink it for another 3.

9th I misread my put for par so finished with a bogie, 3 Birdies in one round of technically 8 holes I was pleased with that, there is work to do, but with the competition beckoning, all is looking good for Team Mooseblaster.

4 Day weekends

Rock.

Well that was a nice long weekend, and to make a pleasant change for Easter the Sun was shining and it was actually very warm.

Thursday started the weekend well, with a 4pm finish and across to Archees for a beer or two before heading home and a night in snuggled up on the sofa with L and a bottle of wine.

Friday evening saw us head to Reeds in Alton with our friend J, a most enjoyable evening indeed.

Saturday was spent wandering around town with the afternoon in the Garden, L was off to Fareham for a friends 40th Birthday, travelling down in a pink Limo, I stayed put and watched the golf with a few beers.

Sunday lunch with L and J in Prezzos and a few beers in the Wheatsheaf. Monday evening to L's Mum's for the Easter get together.

All in all a top weekend. Thankfully I am off Friday and Monday so this week is only 3 working days.

Golf after work Wednesday, time to dig those fab Mizuno MP32's back out of the cupboard.

New phone working well, should get the software loaded soon so will be able to update blog with more pics, new painiting under way which is going ok.

Farting preacher

As seen on totally viral on Sky, it's the farting preacher.

You will need sound on your pc, and if you are anything like me, a box of tissues to mop up the pure tears of joy and laughter.

Perhaps a little childish, but then humour is a bit like that at times.

Enjoy
