A day in Birmingham today: to get there for a 10:00 start I had to take the 06:26 from Cobham - never an inviting prospect, but at least it was light and the weather was warm and the trains were on time. So I arrived there in plenty of time. Not sure if anyone has been to Birmingham New Street station recently but it is yet another piece of UK infrastructure that is under a massive redevelopment programme. I am sure that it will be splendid when it's finished (and will be a mecca for all John Lewis lovers!), but for now it is a giant building site...
Ofwat meetings took all day and I headed back to London on the 4 pm train. Yup, you guessed it: en route, I received an email from South West Trains that there was major disruption at Waterloo (again..) and that all trains were subject to delay and/or cancellation. Yet another opportunity to relish the fact that I no longer have by season ticket... I made it home in the end, via the Tube to Wimbledon (always a good option when there is chaos upstream...).
I was hoping that my new book I purchased last night on Amazon would be here to greet me, but there too there appear to be some delays. I purchased the new
Ken Brown book on putting after having read the various very positive reviews.
This is an area of my game that I think needs work (though I note from scanning my new purchase, that it is practice rather than reading which is required!).
Whilst in the US last week I also had a larger grip fitted to my putter - let's see if the combination delivers that which I am looking for...
