Well everyone deserves the occasional day off, and
today was mine, as I enjoyed a day at the races. The Cheltenham Festival to be
precise. This involved a leisurely drive down the motorway, four motorways to
be precise. Followed by an enormous fry-up, a croissant, a pastry and coffees.
Then on to the races, where I mitigated my losses by picking a winner (I know I
was surprised as well.) Then back in the car and home via a cross country
route, stopping off on the way for a very nice meal in a pub. We finished off
the trip listening to the football on the radio, so all in all a very pleasant
boys outing.
I had just not long walked in the door when the phone
went and jay-le-taxi was required to collect the eldest. Some things never
change. On returning I was watching the news and they were showing pictures of
the Sistine Chapel as the election of a new pope got under way. I have to say
the ceiling there looks nothing like the one I painted yesterday. Back to
normal tomorrow.
Yours making the most of it
Jay
