More Summer Tales

Some great drama this week, none more so than at the climax of the first Ashes test that had me biting my finger nails for a couple of hours Sunday Evening as England held on for an improbable draw.
 
This had followed a fairly miserable afternoon for me though. I was accompanying my daughter to her school fete and had been quite looking forward to some bonding time with my favourite 10-year-old little girl. However, I was duly dropped approximately three seconds after passing through the school gates as a group of her friends appeared and I was suddenly the least cool bit of company in the world ever. We were only reacquainted about three seconds before leaving. The 2½ hours in between felt like a lifetime, with only a few punts on the tombola to break the boredom. The fact I now have a tin of new potatoes, an under fives painting book and a Frisbee is testament to my investments.
 
I did enjoy a corporate Golf day during the week. Especially the chap who drove his buggy up to the edge of the River Brent where he feared he’d struck his ball. He pulled up to assess the situation, realised he had indeed found the water and climbed back into the cart to make some room to drop a new ball ready to play. Unfortunately where he thought he had selected reverse, he had actually stayed in the forward gear and duly drove his buggy straight down the bank and into the water. I’d not seen anyone do that before. It was hysterical!!
