AUGUST

August 8th

I've got loads to say, just been too busy to say it.  So have we all. It's been a delicious week, the summer continues weatherly* and emotionally.

Today is Sunday, PSHT went to Wembley to watch Man U against Chelsea, apparently it was a v satisfactory match 3.1 to the good guys.

On Friday we took H&T, with Tim,  to a Steam Fair which made us all, particularly D, v happy.   As well as engines there were falcons and owls and ferrets.

On Thursday we biked, with Ziggy,  for 7 miles through Badminton Park.  They were able to spot deer, baa at sheep and generally exercise high spirits.  When  we were on the roads we needed to exercise discipline;- ride in single file, keep left.  Hector rode at the front and identified himself as the General. I was at the back and was the navigator/medic.  It developed into a rerun of WW2 culminating in a whole-playground battle when we arrived in Luckington.  I took no photos or prisoners.

Today I have tidied the study.  It has taken me 8 hours of highly satisfactory organisation.  Now only 4 more rooms and 3 sheds to do.  D went back to the steam fair and now he is at the other PC (a new one) composing his weekly family bulletin.
