early bird

Green light to play golf today - and when I teed off (at 7.10am) - I was the 1st peron out there - hardly surprising really given the ludicrous time of day. However, I always enjoy being up early and getting what I consider to be the best part of the day. The golf wasn't bad either - a 78 which I was pleased about given the difficult conditions (wind and some light rain) - along with the fact I haven't played for a couple of weeks.

Joseph has been a nightmare today. I took P&J for a walk this afternoon and tried to buy a pair of trainers to run in. Joseph had a meltdown. This was not the first time today. When I got back (at a very respectable 11am I might add), Catrin had murder in her eyes. I thought it best that she go out on her own before someone downstairs sees a child being hurtled out of a 1st floor window. Starbucks did the trick and she came back in a much better frame of mind a couple of hours later. In this time, I enjoyed playing with some lego that she'd bought for Grace way too much. I never played with it as a kid and found it strangely addictive - building an ambulance, a fire station, fire engine and helicopter.......the fact that I'm even writing it in my blog is worrying - it clearly shows that there was too much enjoyment. Funnily enough Grace quickly got bored while I continued to build.......maybe I need therapy.

Anyway - Cat had her hair cut today (short!) - and of course I like it dear.....I tried again to buy a pair of running shoes (as well as top, socks and a very sexy pair of lycra shorts). Now I look the business - but the same cannot be said of wheezing bald git collapsing after a hundred yards. Still - the neighbours probably think it's funny.....
