Anyone for Glastonbury? 2014

It's working, nowt else is.

Things are just not picking up. And it seems to be in every area of my life. Not one part is ticking over nicely.

Glastonbury, 2014.

Yes Glastonbury next year. I've not been since 1993, twenty years this year. So I thought I would set up a trip, inviting all my music friends and all my none music friends.

Sounds good, we all stick together, look after one another. The musicians can go off and sing the rest can tag along with us or do thier own thing.

It turns out the band members from my old band (who it would suit to the ground) do not want to go. It suprised me, it really did. They have a great sound, they could have sang to large audiences, thats what they like. But no they are not going. I'm still going.

The other suprise was the people who are going. I have a sister, well I have lots of sisters (7) who is going, now that was a suprise and she's bring 2 of her mates, now that was an even bigger suprise. They are extremely posh lot. Very cultured.
Also, my cousins from Manchester are coming, my daughter is coming (with her man), friends from Scotland are coming. It's just a pity the band are not coming. I'm sure they would have a great time.

Golf.

I'm playing steady, I'm playing very steady.
So I'm in this knock out, it starts with over 150, some get a bye to level it down to 132, then it's down to 64 after the first round, down to 32 by the next round and so on.
I won my first round match. This week I played the next round, it turns out that I play the second round mans best friend. He works in the pro shop and watched us go out.

At the end of the match my next opponent was still in the pro shop, his mate could not wait to get in the pro shop to tell him.

He phoned me up today, I said 'Yes I can play anytime'. He did not like that............... ............'I think you may be to late, we should have already played the match' ...................... 'No we have until 4th Aug to get the match played' (me)
There is some skuldugery going on here. 'I'll see if I can book a tee off time'.
I waited, nowt. ......................... I sent him a text, nowt.
If we play it will be a real grudge match.

Holidays.

I was going to go down and see 'Cornwall woman' (I never use names). I went last year and had a good time. We walk in the day and play Scrabble at night with a bit of TV and a bottle of wine. It's nice, I was going to go down this year. On the Sunday night we go to a singing club and I scare everyone.

But, yes but, my daughter phoned up last night.
'Dad, we've booked a 10 berth boat on the Norfolk Broards' a very well know sailing place in Britain, it's inland on canals and easy rivers. I've always wanted to go there.
'Some people have pulled out (bit of a row) and we were woundering if you would like to go ? It's all paid for'
Now I never look a gift horse in the mouth (it's an English saying, meaning. Never turn down a free meal, well or similar. Your not supposed to look inside the mouth of a horse thats been given as a gift, it goes back a very long way).
So I've booked a seat on the train and I'm off, it's only a week (yes they could have booked it for a month, sorry I'm being greedy). I'll post some photo's when I get back.

Which reminds me.

I was out on the town with Number 2, one of my sisters. We had moved to the second pub.

A man dressed up in drag came in, number 2 was on him like a shot.
'Sit next to my brother and I'll get a photo'.
I'm always set up for these things, an easy target. I'll try and get it off my phone. Later. I'm just glad my computer is letting me write, not a single glitch tonight (no spell check though).

So I'll keep you informed about next years Glastonbury trip and next weeks holiday. I'm off to see if I can get the photo off the phone.

 I'll post the photo as a seperate post. Good night.
