Day 351 - A Lucky Man

When we set out from the Clubhouse this morning for our game, the wind was blowing, the skies threatening and we felt as we were in for a classic round of winter golf.... And yet, somehow, first we saw some blue skies and then for a considerable while we were also treated to the sun as well.  A welcome surprise in early February.

Today there were five of us, disorganised as ever, who took part in our Stableford competition. On this occasion, my three-ball were victorious, thanks in great part to partner Alan, who played very well in what were not easy conditions.  For this, we walked away with the princely sum of £2 a man...

Back home for the afternoon, I discovered an American TV series that I had never heard of before: it is one of the many hours of "free" viewing to which we are entitled as Amazon Prime members. It was entitled "Mozart in the Jungle" and is a comedic take on life in the New York Symphony Orchestra

And very entertaining it was too: some good music interspersed with a blend of humour worked well for me. Fun seeing Malcolm McDowell on the screen again: very much a star in my youth in such things as O Lucky Man! (one of my all time favourites and A Clockwork Orange (which also contained some classical music references...), he then disappeared for years only to reappear recently in the Heroes TV series.

As I write this I have Alan Price's excellent soundtrack from O Lucky Man blasting through the house...just as well Kathryn's not here!
