Well... !
Friday was our 16th wedding anniversary, and I had a table booked at 'The Bucklemaker' in town for 19:30, planning for Carole to look after the kids for us. Then on Saturday we would be going to Blackpool with Alex and Josh as (an early) 10th birthday treat - He is now tall enough to ride 'The Big One'.
Friday morning started off quite dull, and even rained for a short while, but once it stopped - I nipped off to the golf course (My Monday rota day had been moved to Friday due to the Bank Holiday).
Unfortunately, whilst out on the course the weather really turned, and it was baking hot and sunny - and me without a cap (or any hair!) to protect the top of my head... Result: By 17:00 I felt really lousy! Spent most of the next two days lying down or sitting on the toilet.
Not all bad tho'
The meal has been re-scheduled to the 23rd (Kids are away that weekend anyway), and Blackpool to the 30th. Turns out Josh didn't really want to go - he does not like the 'big rides'.
Finally - Man United beat Wigan 2-0 to retain the Premier league title by two points over Chelsea - YES!
By this morning I was feeling quite a lot better, and yes I was off work again!! So I didn't need to cancel my on the course lesson with Jon. I played four holes under his watchfull eye, and the good this is that I now have a degree of consistency with my wayward shots! This at least makes it easier to correct them.
In the process I did manage to hit my best ever driver shot - some 200 yards absolutely up the middle of the 2nd fairway.
It was very warm out there again today, but at least this time I took a bottle of water with me, and purchased a new cap to protect my head. I was wringing wet by the time I got back to the clubhouse, but felt better after a shower and change of clothes.
As I sit here, I am starting to feel a little delicate again, so may go and have a lie down as soon as I have finished.
