Today found me shackled to the laptop: it was time to finish off all the work I have been doing on the diary for the Club in 2016. Actually, I say "all the work" which is grossly unfair to the people who have actually put in the hard graft, the Vice Captains. My job was to take the spreadsheet and load it up onto the Club website and golf system: not really very onerous, but it was time consuming! Fortunately, it is all done now and we are ready for the year ahead!
My other job for the day was to do some sorting out of golf clothes here: I am staggered in how much one accumulates over the years (and this is only our second home...). Nobody should ever let me buy another golf shirt, ever...
My son's girlfriend is staying with us this week: she currently lives and works in Lille in France so it's great that they get to spend some time together. When she accepted our invitation to come, she made reference that some of her parents' best friends lived here in Sarasota. As it turned out, not only do they live in the same city but their house is also on University Park, less than a mile away from ours.
And they very kindly invited us around to dinner this evening. It was fun to meet up with another British pair who have settled here, though they have gone the whole hog and made this their main dwelling and have also taken on American citizenship. That's one step too far...
