Had a very busy day at work, decided to play golf afterwards My new golf shoes (£130) arrived earlier this week so decided to wear them for the first time. Hit a fucking awful shot into the rubbish on the second hole and went to find it. Saw the ball in a dried out ditch, assumed it was ok to walk on, it wasn’t ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) Took one step, went in up to my knees and had to scramble out covered in brown shit all over my lower half, ruining my new shoes in the process, had to play the rest of the round covered in shit Didn’t even get the ball back and I still stink of bogwater now after a hot shower

Sympathy and everything, but that's also very funny.

Took an impromptu couple of days off, jumped on the motorbike with a tent and off to the new forest. Just 3 days of camping with a kindle full of Terry Pratchett books.

What sort of golf course has shitty filled ditches?? It’s usually got water in it. Just dried out now, there’s another one later on the 7th hole which you can walk on a bit without sinking. I assumed this one was the same, it was not they just naturally dry out this time of the year

Piss on them. They won't smell of bog water any more, that's for sure.

Just slapped some sun cream on and grabbed the laptop to work outside for the rest of the day (in shade because I can't see a fucking thing otherwise)
Will be smoking a chicken breast for lunch ala alphafox shortly. Tempted to have a cheeky lunchtime beer to go with it.

Last Friday of my holidays and am a touch second hand as it is, going to have some lunch and then need to take a few trips to the recycling bins. It's hot so after is either a nap, playing something on console or sitting out under the sprinkler. Then want a nice dinner.

Getting trains home to the UK from Prague. Still in Germany, 10 hours on, on route to Brussels. German trains are not as reliable/good as you might expect.

Missus is away for the weekend for the first time in literally years, so enjoying a bit of me time. (and no, I don't mean wanking myself silly...)
Rebuilding my PC (new motherboard, SSD and a 5900x), attempting to smoke a brisket which is way too small to get a decent bark, drinking some beer, playing about with said PC...

Wicked day yesterday. Usual Saturday morning of swimming lessons and gym, then dumped the kids off with the in-laws, went to the cinema to watch Maverick and then put for dinner. Went to a new restaurant, which has been getting good reviews. Was decent - very much causal dining more than fine dining, but tbh, that suits me just fine. Then back for a few more drinks whilst watching TotP: stories for various 90s years. Can't beat reliving the uni/post-uni years.
Today....not sure, it's scorchio, so even a beach visit is probably out until perhaps this evening. Kids will be tired so maybe just a lazy afternoon here after going to see my mum. Both of us have some work to do and chores, will fire up the BBQ after.

Preparing to go back to the arse end of nowhere. Five night shifts followed by two days off, and repeat. Went to the shop earlier to buy Nytol, they were out so I had to go the next one. So my legs are tired even now, well looking forward to a nice long sitting down and doing nothing session on the train.

Beach today, perfect weather for it, not ridiculously hot and somehow I squeezed into my wetsuit but was definitely a struggle and I couldn't zip it up on my own, the brats didn't fight and kick off for the whole time for the first time in I don't know when and this fat old man did some tombstoning for the first time in his life, if an 8ft drop counts. Now an hour or so at the skatepark with the youngest before the countdown to bed.

Hosting, entertaining, cooking, eating, drinking, playing darts, shooting the shit, laughing, reminiscing, (play) fighting, piss taking and generally having a whale of a time.
I'm shattered.
People are off, except the Americans, who are here another two nights to explore a bit of Norfolk. If that sounds weird, it's worth remembering that they're from Oaklahoma. 😁

BBQ with the father in law, proof read all my reports then sat in the garden drinking white wine. Maybe some of my birthday 12 year old Glenfiddich later on, which I'll regret in the morning.

Had people round for food in the garden, then one of them got a phone call from a mate who's having a diabetic hyper and asking them to call an ambulance for him so he had to go, and they all turned up in the same car. So now I'm cleaning the kitchen. Ah well.

Went to see a small (4 actors) production of Wuthering Heights in the garden of a local museum. Different way to spend an evening, I haven't read the book and basically came to the conclusion that Heathcliff is an arsehole and Cathy is a raving lunatic.
ETA The four actors worked bloody hard. They were all pretty much constantly on 'stage' and talking for two hours non stop.
