Day 143 - Golf Widower

Many years ago, I can remember watching a television play starring Maureen Lipman. The opening scene showed her and her husband in bed: he was boring her with the story of his golfing day: "On the third, I took a 7 iron for my approach and it bounced into a bunker" etc.  She had no interest whatsoever but eventually decided to take up the game to see what it was all about. You can probably guess the final scene.. they were in bed together, but this time it was the husband who was bored with wife's story of her round... "I hit a great drive on the short par 4th..." etc.

I felt a bit like that today. Mrs L left the house at 9:30 for a match against Roehampton and didn't reappear until gone 6 pm. And I had had to cancel my inaugural appearance in the Surrey Captains' Team against Kent due to my dodgy wrist...

Fortunately, there was lots to do at home: I had my accounts to catch up on (I still use an ancient version of Quicken...), then there was the Friday email to draft and I still had the minutes to write from the last Club Committee meeting.  As far as distractions were concerned, there were lots: the second day of the Ashes at Cardiff, the opening round of the D\Scottish Open at Gullane and of course the latest tennis from Wimbledon.

Clearly multi-tasking was in order...

Finally, I was on dinner duty: I took advantage of the Fish van being in Cobham today and purchased a couple of fresh swordfish steaks. These were perfect for some Tequila-lime fish tacos... followed by some home made raspberry ice cream.  Yum....
