Last day before starting at L&G tomorrow. What a beautiful sunny day!

Dropped the letters Charlotte has written for getting raffle prizes for her quiz night in town after dropping her at the bus.

Went home and checked emails and did the general work admin.

Went to play the next round of the Parker Cup at Farnham GC after dropping £12 in 1p and 2p coins at Nat West.

Played David Rose – very interesting chap 70 years old and an ex newsreader for ITN. I won and got into the semi finals of the cup. A good win too 7&6 after a dreadful 1st hole where I topped my first shot a only made it into the rough just past the tee.

Another lovely clear sunny day – but cold.

Slow start to the day for me – Bridget left early to go riding.

Dog was walked and cleared up after dinner last night. Very good dinner too!

Went and hit come golf balls at Farnham Golf Club in the early afternoon. Was striking the ball well.

Came back and went down to the allotment by the horses and dug over about 1/3 of one of the beds. Stopped as I was getting a blister even through gloves! Office hands!!

Early dinner planned – Toad in the Hole.

Mark Werner our IFA from Harvard came to see us.

Always good to see him and catch up with our finances as well as his news.

Spent some of the day helping Bridget preparing for a dinner party with Clive and Sally, Tony & Liz and Lesley coming around. Charlotte has made a lovely looking meringue for pudding.

First mow of the grass today so the garden looks a little tidier.

Welcome to my blog and the very first entry …….

Lovely day today – bright, sunny with the first hints of spring – but cold!

Confirmed I have a new IBM assignment starting Tuesday which is good.

This afternoon we went to Alton to see Travelbag and Neil Armitage the architect at Re-Format.

Looks like we can fly to India with Kuwait Airways cheaper than anyone else – but the flight is dry!!

Agreed a fixed ceiling price for the architects work to get us to planning permission. It is possible we might exceed that if things get complicated with the council but hopefully can come in under that sum.

The extension could look like this ……
