Morning!
Had a lie til 11am. Well dazed on and off all night as it was too warm and feel tired already. Back under the umbrella in Death Valley. The hot weather is set for the week.
With it being The Open, I set up a 1 hole golf course in the garden yesterday evening. It's a 10 yard par 3. The flag/hole is the rotary. There's a bunker either side (deck chairs) and the flag is hidden behind a small table. Only two clubs in the bag, a 9 iron and putter. Managed to get a birdie once. Also had to go next door twice and say "oy mister can i have my ball back please".
Golf wanker.
No games.

Morning, fan fans.
Scorching again today, but the lack of hangover means I might be able to enjoy it.
Does anyone need any ants?

I woke up early to go for a run. Huffing round a race track ...
The sun … it was pitiless.
Looking forward to eating some melon later.

Morning, fan fans. Scorching again today, but the lack of hangover means I might be able to enjoy it. Does anyone need any ants? Fans, aye aye. The piles of Raid all over my kitchen are mute testimony to the nest in the catacombs* under Chumbles' Mansion. Hot weather dries out the subterranean complex opening up minute cracks against the walls behind the fitted cabinets. Through these, miniature versions of scamander 's legions pour the moment I leave a banana skin en prise. *My surveyor assures me that the labyrinthine tunnels are unlikely to be as extensive as those in Paris or Rome No sign of social distancing here. ffs it's 30c in here. I've done 3h of chores and I am going to do more whale impressions

The ice on the lake was too thick to clear a hole this morning, so I had to do without my cold-water early-morning dip. Back at home now, fire is roaring, cocoa is hot and has a nip of brandy in it.
It's just started to snow again, and the mountains are disappearing into the clouds. It's beautiful here, a landscape of true majesty and awe. I feel purpose, at one with nature, and inspired to live the best life I can.

Gowf chat. Some of us are off to a driving range later. I have never used a driver before.
Hopefully I won't bash in the skull of the child or her me.

MrTiddles Well… that’ll replace the Destry in your nightmares! That face still haunts me.

The filter/tobacco is the tee. The ash the ball. Hit the ash/ball, pick up the filter/tee and stride down the fairway smoking and looking the bollocks. You could replace the ciggie with a joint in your visualisation. Your welcome.

I think maybe it's just heatstroke.

I've just been reliably informed that he's not turning up until 5pm. This is a fucking outrage. I need a drink to get over my anger about this.

Pakistan's fielding has improved greatly over their showing in the one day series ... 200 the target England's set, which I think leaves this game finely balanced

I went to see Mr Booze.
I was on my way / we were on our way to a garden centre with the vague plan of buying a tree to place in the garden. Then a pub manifested.
We did get the tree. It’s an orange tree. I like it …
