3 weeks in and I guess some people have been putting or chipping on their lawns, or perhaps mid irons if you live in Harpenden.
Thankfully, no really bad news has come to my ears but I have been advised by Sameer that Marilyn has been down with a nasty bout of the virus and spent two weeks in bed. Sameer was dismissed to the spare bedroom, no change there then ! He reports his previously deranged garage is now immaculately tidy and has been entered for the Best Garage in Harpenden show.
I am grateful for many contributions received on the lighter side, and reassured that i do have some readers after all. Before that, a message from John Cullen. If the Alternative Ryder Cup can go ahead in August he is looking for suggestions on alternative splits for the two teams, preferably one he could win. My input is Lager vs Ale with Wine as a balancing tool. If you have any ideas please e-mail John: biker52@btinternet.com
John has provided the following wine recommendation at £5.99 from Waitrose. Like a true Scot he has sealed the glass so as you can't actually drink any. I have also seen one of David's recommendations at the same price: L'Arene des Anges, Costiere de Nimes. Talking of wine, why not fantasize about jetting off somewhere on Sleazyjet with a small wine at £5.99 a glass. Remember, to see any videos you must visit the website, link at the bottom of the email.
It is with great sadness that I have to mention the loss of a few further local businesses around our Town. The bra manufacturer has gone bust, the specialist in submersibles has gone under, the manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation, a dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers, the suppliers of paper for origami enthusiasts has folded, the Heinz factory has been canned as they couldn't ketchup with orders, the tarmac laying company has reached the end of the road, the bread company has run out of dough, the clock manufacturer has had to wind down and gone cuckoo, the Chinese has been taken away, the shoe shop has had to put his foot down and given his staff the boot and finally the laundrette has been taken to the cleaners!
