I have plenty to boast about today, it's been one of those days when you know that God is in His Heaven and all is right with the world:
Firstly, I almost scored a 'hole in one ' at golf. Wow, what a shot...it was actually on the wrong green but, hey, when you are as crap a golfer as I am ...who cares?
Secondly, I rediscovered my long lost 'super-turning, unhittable, batsman -foxing Googly' and bowled it at my unsuspecting son...he smashed it over the hedge and almost killed a neighbour's cow, but hey, young people get lucky, don't they?
Thirdly, I decided to get a bit fitter. So, after regaling my daughter with tales of my former boxing prowess, and how I could 'skip for England', I whirled the skipping rope around my flabby torso and puffed and gasped like a shot pig. Eventually I think I had a minor heart attack, tripped over the rope, crashed into the Greenhouse door and sprayed glass over half the County. But hey, it's hot, Tomatoes need ventilation, don't they?
Finally, I decided to introduce my little Grandaughter to the wonders of Golf, using the little plastic clubs I bought her for her birthday. I always fancied myself as a coach, considering I could each Tiger Woods a thing or two, and so it proved. Within five minutes the little mite had developed a good enough swing to send the plastic mini-club hurtling across the living room to break the only golf trophy I ever actually won. But hey, what a swing she has (and one trophy looks pathetic anyway).
But, I have shared time with the woman I love, been grunted at in semi-understanding by my children, watched a re-run of England winning the second Test Match, passed the time of day and shaken hands with my neighbour and been told 'I loves yous Gandad' by my Grandaughter.
I rest my case.
That was brilliant Artificer.
I had a good day too. We had our usual family Sunday tea with my young nieces and nephews out the back garden with my new pup playing. Then my nephew huged me and said he loved me befor he went home just like in artificers post. I'm feeling better with the help of a few folks on here aswell as family over the last week. Being able to talk to folks who know realy helps.
