Pic of the week 22/4/18
I had plenty to write about today, but (probably I’ve got plenty to write about because I’ve been busy) today’s post will be reduced to a series of bullet points for brevity.
- What a difference a
dayfive years makes! Same T-shirt, two different me’s. The first picture was taken in the summer of 2013, the right hand shot yesterday. Becky & I went to see “The Band” at the Bristol Hippodrome and the pic was taken after lunch, en-route to the show, which included my favourite line: - “You are looking at maximum Jeff.” Show was great, but it did continue the tendency to stereotype “Jeff’s” as middle aged, boring, old men. Couldn’t be further from the truth!
- As this post is, in part, dedicated to my vanity, it is only appropriate that I record my first “waxing” – on Thursday I had my back done, not as painful as I feared!
- The weather has, at last, been fantastic. From Tuesday we’ve had wall to wall sunshine and, apparently, the hottest April day since the ’70s. After the cold wet Spring we’ve had, the good weather was long overdue.
- Garden notes: planted up some lobelia, geraniums, hostas. Gave everywhere a good tidy. Over seeded the (barren looking) lawn.
- Boiler – on Friday the boiler annoyingly started playing up, only giving hot water intermittently. Can trick it into action (turn hot tap on, turn boiler off and then on) and it will (usually) stabilise and maintain hot water. But a pain. My money is on the PCB …
- My knee continues to improve, but still not able to walk normally. A lot less painful than it was and I have been able to swim on Friday and today. Not sure if I’ve just forgotten how to walk!
- Back to school tomorrow, holidays are over. Still, the summer term is always the best (and the shortest. Are the two related, I wonder?)
