SUNDAY

Was well named today. After a bit of a grey start to the day (with some welcome early morning rain) we had another glorious sunny day with no wind. Perfect for swimming and pottering about.

Apropos of pottering about I went down the road and played snooker with the old guys this afternoon.

Oops, I defaulted to the wrong photo again. Why do I do that?

I mean these guys.

We played three frames (snooker jargon for games). I was crap but never mind it was good to be out of the heat of the afternoon sun for a couple of hours.


Ealier in the day, before the sun came completely out of the clouds, I did a spot of gardening. That bastard convolvulus has come back again and, with the hot weather interspersed with rain, has been growing like a weed. Well, it is a weed so I guess that's appropriate. I tore as much out as I could, getting right down to find the master root systems.

While I was dragging out some root systems I felt an incredibly sharp pain in my thigh. I had been stung by something - probably a wasp.

No, not that kind although I'd hate to find this bastard under the shrubbery.

I think it was one of these.

Bloody thing. My thigh is sore and swollen. I looked up stings on the web (internet not the other) and it says that the pain and swlling should disappear after 48 hours.
