Day 72 - The Sum of All Fears

Another Tuesday, another Disorganised Golfers game... this time there were five of us: which meant one two-ball and another three.  Once we got off the tee, we moved speedily around the course and, in less than three and a half hours, we were sitting on the terrace soaking in the sun. Sheltered from the wind, with a few beers to enjoy, all of us agreed that this was definitely better than working!

The afternoon was spent with my Financial Adviser, trying to decide how best to cope with all the uncertainty out there, especially that surrounding what may or may not happen after the General Election on 7th May. Time will tell whether or not we made the right decisions...

I am a great fan of the spoken word, as commercialised by Audible (www.audible.co.uk).  Being at best a light, more like a poor, sleeper I find listening to books on my iPhone a great solace when unable to sleep. I always go for the unabridged versions and have just come to the end of Tom Clancy's  "The Sum of All Fears" (not that this has anything to do with the outcome of the impending election... or does it?)

Anyway, this meant that I was pleased to find that the film version was available to download on Sky... at least I was until it became clear that the latter was only very loosely based on the former.   You are no Jack Ryan, Mr Affleck....
