- We had some warm evenings this week, so local homes had their windows open to let in some fresh air. Unfortunately, some idiot in the next village decided on Thursday that they would burn tyres, sending toxic fumes our way. Why do morons burn things when it’s hot? 😡
- While I’m grumbling, recent flooding has broken up local roads leaving behind many pot holes. I now have a loose mud flap on one side of my car as a result of one particularly deep hole. Damn you, weather.
- I love the spec and price of the MacBook Neo, announced this week. It’s the perfect laptop for almost everyone and, pending the reviews, will be my default recommendation.
- H’s latest football match was a disaster. There was a mix-up among the coaches over the kick-off time, meaning half his team only arrived at half-time. They lost 6-2.
- However, younger brother C had his best cricket session yet. His bowling action is really coming on. Very soon they’ll move out of the gym and onto grass.
- I have a wife sick with flu. She missed a couple of days of work, which is unlike her, and spent most of the weekend looking “beautiful but rough”. Germ-ridden schoolchildren are surely to blame.
- Our quiz night team at the local secondary school was therefore depleted on Saturday evening, but we didn’t shame ourselves. I think we were about fifth among 16 teams. Sport, languages and geography were strong rounds, although possibly too easy given the narrow spread of points.
- I won a family trampolining session (plus socks) in the quiz raffle, which means I will need to put my ego to one side and bounce around in public.
