July Morning

Okay, Uriah Heep's 'July Morning' wasn't a catchy hot single but I was struggling!

Highlight of the month was Darren Clarke's victory in the Open - particularly as I has a small investment at the rewarding odds of 150-1! While young upstarts like Luke Donald and Rory McIlroy found themselves flailing around hopelessly in awful conditions, the serene Clarke was a picture of good-humoured calm throughout the four day ordeal and left the others in his considerable wake.Just proves that us portly, more mature chaps can still cut the mustard!

Don't think for a second that the month was spent sitting on a sofa munching Golden Wonder, drinking coffee and watching TV though - on no, there was lots to do!
With few opportunities to top up the tan (weather very unpredictable - see above), I was a very very busy man indeed. As well as tending to the garden and keeping on top of washing and ironing, I found the time to carefully clean my nice blue cooncil paper refuse bags - they were looking a bit tatty and I didn't want the neighbours complaining. Looking very smart and shiny now though - sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day!
