Sorting Their Lives Out

Monday is dog training which is followed by a detour to Derby to pick L up, who has been visiting her folks. She says her legs ache, so she must have put some work in on the track last night.

On Tuesday I am in London for a meeting with our ‘difficult’ customer. We have network specialists in, trying to sort their lives out for them.

L and Daughter spend the evening at the theatre, or rather the theatre being shown at the cinema. They go to see the Importance of Being Earnest at Broadway.

I cycle on Wednesday and then in the evening it’s dog training where the Lad gets to join the big boys’ class for the first time. He loves it. Meanwhile L and Daughter go running, sporting more lights than I have on my bike. I hope they don’t blind anyone.

L officially take a hiatus from taking the boys out in mornings and on Thursday I take over. They can be a bit of a handful. In the evening, there’s still no squash but L does have her tennis and gets to try out her new racquet. She is the only one in her class who can serve properly.

Friday is very windy and there are trees down everywhere. I consider weighing the Lad down when I take him on the park but I’m sure he’ll just bounce back if a gust does take him.

The Chocolate Counter At Tesco

I rest the calf on the bus, it probably needs a roll but racing the totty on the Watt Bikes tonight will have to do. Squash is still on hiatus. I think running pre-Paris is also on hiatus now.

L reckons that her workout tonight will be at the chocolate counter at Tesco. I’m sure she’s joking and if she isn’t I have every confidence that she’ll talk herself out of that one.

My favourite threesome walk up to meet my bus without chocolate and without footballs. It’s good to see that MD has managed to tear L away from their game in the garden.

Hole In The Bucket

It was due to be the end of the great tennis hiatus today until we saw the weather forecast. So, opponent calls it off amid the predicted deluge that is supposed to last all afternoon and evening.

Our lunchtime pub excursion reveals a new beer being brewing by the Brunswick themselves. ‘Hole in the Bucket’, I think that's what it was called,  is an excellent new 4.7% dark ale, porter style and very smooth. The brewer is there drinking it himself and assures us it will be a regular beer come the autumn.

I think autumn is here now and it is raining when I cycle home. It’s not exactly a deluge but it wouldn’t have been very pleasant brandishing a racquet in it.
