Weekend diary entry

Saturday

Tash went off to yoga in the morning and I just did jobs as I wanted to get sorted out. Lewis and Emily made the most of having a lie in. We then had nice scrambled egg with smoked salmon, which Lewis seems to always enjoy making before we then went out to Charlotte to collect Lewis's car and Natasha went off to the baby shower for Victoria at the Jolly Boatman pub.

Lewis, Emily and I went off to Blenheim Palace and wandered around the grounds, showing them where Charlotte works and things like that. The weather was very hot again and we had a nice ice cream treat from Lewis and then lots of walking, we went to the victory column which I don’t think I’ve done before.

We parked quite a way away, so I offered to go and get the car whilst Lewis and Emily could wander around Woodstock and take in some of the sites and shops that are there, which I think Emily appreciated as she’s had enough of walking, I might be wrong!

The baby shower finished around the same time, and we all got back to Wolvercote at the same time and receded to have some drinks and nibbles and I got the pizza oven on the gate go

Had a bit of a nightmare, because at one point, Zoe crunched down on a snail that had obviously got into the oven And had died once I sent it off and falling in her pizza. I feel terrible.

Had a few drinks and then jumped in the hot tub.

Beers were flowing and it was so nice they stayed as long as they did, they left at 8.30pm which was great.

I then watched the champions league final between Man City and Inter Milan but it wasn’t very good at all and the coverage on BT sport was appalling. Man City won which is nice for them. I didn’t care either way, the football on show and the cheating wasn’t much fun.

Carried on drinking and then got the Shisha pipe out and Tash and I just relaxed in the warm night air until after midnight. Such a great day.


Sunday

Woke up with a bit of a heavy head, but nothing too serious or concerning so got ready and went to golf for 8:30 am. Today there was myself, Wayne, Paul and Robbie Baressi. It was a slow start, but my rounds got better and better as I went along and by the end of the day I scored my best ever round of 91, which is 23 over par, Wayne hit 90 and was really pissed off and yet I hit 91 and was absolutely delighted.

My round included three pars and one birdie so not bad at all.

The weather was absolutely boiling hot, the Sun beating down, and you can smell the grass, being scorched earth that herself, didn’t put us off, and I went home to leave straight away so that we could go punting on the river.

Zoe, Liam and Georgia met us down at the college, and both Georgia and Liam had never been punting before, so that was nice to take them out and they enjoyed it but neither of them wanted to have a go but that was fine although it was bloody hot work.

When we finished Natasha and I went back to our house to sort Bessie out and I had a quick snooze for an hour before we then went over to Zoe‘s for some food which was nice and she enjoying enjoyed entertaining us.

After Zoe's we went back home and sorted things out ahead of the weekend and tidied the house et cetera and I did loads of searching on the Internet for a new golf club because my three wood snapped earlier in the day. Had quite an early night as we were both tired, but it’s been such a lovely long weekend, really enjoyed it.
