Free Music sound OK 2 me

On my second play of Planet Earth by Prince. Okay, I had to buy the Mail on Sunday but I don't have to read it! I consider that I have bought the new Prince album for £1.40. A bargain. I should soon have two copies as we have booked to go see him at the O2 Arena next month. I understand he is giving away copies there too.
Doing well this week as Barbara and I have both read a book Phil borrowed from the library. One of our favourite authors, Michael Connelly. "The Overlook" is classic Harry Bosch. It's maybe a little short but it has meant that both of us have been able to read it before Phil takes it back to the library. Our kids keep us up with the latest literary happenings!
The team didn't do very well at the quiz on Thursday. Can't seem to get to grips with the new question setters mind. We don't worry too much as we are only there for the company and chat. Keith was absent so we stopped at three pints instead of the usual four. Meant I was much better equipped to go on the Braves Guild trip on Friday morning.
We went into town on the bus and got to the Guild just before 10am. We were a little late because most of the people had arrived. In fact, most of the helpers were late. Still we all got there and everything went exactly to schedule. Wendy had written an itinerary and, amazingly, we stuck to it all day. We went down to Skegness which is a long way to go for fish and chips The weather held off pretty well. It was grey with the odd patch of drizzle so we were able to get about. I took Irene in her wheelchair and Janet came along on her frame. We were held back by Janet's speed but we had a fair walk round with only one small mishap. Janet did a slow motion tumble. I think she came out of her shoe and the frame carried on without her. I was able to catch her before her knees touched ground and get her back on her feet. We had a sit down before we carried on. The fish and chips we had for tea were okay but I have had better. It started to rain quite heavily on the way back but we had the umbrellas and got most of the people off the bus and into the Guild then out to their transport without them getting too wet.
Saturday, Barbara and I went up to Church in the morning and joined the working party cleaning up the outside of the building. The weather held off and even brightened during the morning and we got quite a lot done. We went and picked up Lisa and had a look at her new fishes, 2 White Cloud Mountain Minnows. She is starting down the tropical route after her goldfishes died. She is punctilious about testing the water etc. whereas I am very neglectful. My fish look okay. Murphy's Law, as I was going to go tropical when I retired, but only if my goldfish squad declined as there wouldn't be enough room otherwise. Ah well.
We had some lunch and a chat before the ladies went out to a Garden Party. I was told by Barbara that it would be a ladies thing so I got on with the book and had a glass of red. Got out into the garden too. In hindsight, I shouldn't have opened the bottle as Barbara joined me in the garden with a glass. If we hadn't had a drink, we could have driven out somewhere for a stroll as the weather was lovely.
This morning, I was up and ready and round the corner for the paper as I didn't want to miss out. Barbara had taken a photo of a couple of Wood Pigeons on my birthday feeder. She came through to the kitchen to show me and we had a look at them just in time to see one of next doors moggies leap out of the undergrowth. Fortunately it missed so I wasn't in too bad a mood to go up to Church. The preacher this morning was Rev. Henry P. who is also chairman of the Willersley Amenity committee where I am treasurer. He was trying to enlist Barbara but she resisted. Will have to wait and see what not going to babysit brings. I did take one job. I was asked to be Trevor's replacement on the Weekend Away organising group. I am gradually been drawn in!
