May 16

Still rubbish weather. What's going on???

A brief update on how mum is getting on...
Deb and I had a very productive meeting with the manager of the home yesterday. Lots of things highlighted that either need doing or are in hand. Everything seems to take time and money but, with mum in reasonable spirits at the moment, hopefully we can make her a little more comfy too. Hopefully she'll get some physio soon and a thorough eye test.

We have a French visitor at the moment. Neige (yes - snow!) has come over from the southern coast bit of Brittany on  a school exchange. Her English is about as good as Jenny's French - I'll say no more.

Decided not to get tickets for Wembley on Sunday. I know I'll regret that more and more as we get closer to kick-off but in truth it would be a very expensive day out. Having just renewed season tickets at Carrow Road, justifying another big outlay for another game was getting tricky.

I have been asked to play cricket all over the place this season - 2 teams at Aldborough are after me, Aston have suggested a game as has Graham. I also have an offer to play for Holkham - in front of the hall no less. However, I may have to leave my kit bag in the back of the cupboard this year as my back is telling me that cricket is out of the question right now (as is the weather). Since trapping a nerve on Jan 1st last year I have had spells where it has given me a lot of discomfort. Walking Hadrians Wall was no problem but since trying to get back to my fighting weight in January this year I have been suffering. Hopefully this years 120 mile bike ride shouldn't cause me any problems so I am now looking forwards to prepping myself for that challenge. I've been able to enjoy some more sedate sport down at my Trout lake recently - bagging a few beauties including a wee brown trout caught on a dry fly in the river.

Rosie had a lovely weekend with friend Dasiy coming to stay. The highlight was a party at Bewilderwood but I had a great afternoon with them in Cromer on Saturday

Oh and Nan's off next week
