    Played golf, you wouldn't have thought we'd had any snow. No standing water, fairways and greens immaculate. Four continuous years of improving the drainage by the greens staff has ensured that.

      We have snow and ice pellets dropping so it was a slow drive to go and get a sympathy card. A friend lost his father recently and today is the celebration of the man's life. The old boy was from Wales and was a real dearie.

      I've got more work I should be doing but... nope, just goofing off until it's time to go out. :)

          Went to see my friend keith, he's changed his carers again but better this time. The ones that help him in the mornings will be the same ones every day so that will be better.
