w.atching the w.orld unw.ind

No time to blog yesterday about the weekend, so here goes..

Hired a Tranny (van, not cross-dresser) on Saturday, to ship Number One Daughter back from Uni for the last time.

It’s the end of her 4-year course, to now be followed by two years of clinical placement, then a final, (seventh!) year to do the thesis for her doctorate.

Then she gets to wear a white coat, earn the big bucks and buy me a boat*

I don’t want much – just a 24 foot, twin-screw inboard, GPS, fish finder, flying bridge (watch the gulls working the water, ‘cos the baitfish are right there), retractable stern platform for the scuba and secure stowage for the rods and air-tanks….

Then a wedding reception on Saturday evening (gawd, we're weddinged out this year - but all have been brilliant)and a barbie (at someone else's house) on Sunday - so was able to get mullered.

Summer's shaping up pretty well, so far...
