Big catch up - thought I was quiet

Did not realise that I had been offline for so long, how time flies when you are busy, and not necessarilly enjoying yourself.  I heard that we are no longer suffering from old age, just coping with diminishing youth,  HOWEVER, no matter how you look at it, it gets harder !!!

So, despite this , we are still soldiering on at the Dolphin Inn which continues to attract either new or returning custom each week, nice folks, who get well looked after.

Had a really nice surprise early in the week when Stacey, one of the animation team from the Coral Sea Resort, Sharm el Sheikh, wher we satyed in May, came in for lunch with her sister to see us - lovely,  so now she is away back to the sun - which we are missing.

So the *ankers in the Financial sector have been caught out yet again shafting the general populace; the question was asked by someone this morning is " Where is all the money?", it must be somewhere - in a bloody great big tin box under these greedy beggers beds - while the rich get rich the poor get poorer - and the rich do not give a toss - better stop before I get carried away -  nice to see that some of the fat cats are turning down their so called bonuses, but others like the boss of the Royal Mail is tucking yet another odd bucketful of cash under her mattress.

Wimbledon causing a bit of an upset, for a few of the stars, Nadal got well cuffed last night,  and tonight Federer has made a terrific comeback from two sets down.  Not sure how much of the final stages I will see when I am back in "doc" after the 9th.  But I might get peace to see the Olympics while recuperating.
Football has been good, Italy certainly gave Germany a good trumping last night, so all being well I look forward to a good final betwen Italy and Spain on Sunday.

Have been missing out on my massages recently so I went to see wicked "Cruella",  - bloody hell,  I was in agony - so much for the no pain , no gain, saying -  I was even promising that I would not call her Cruella again !!! -  but it did work,  and then - bit of a bonus, she stuck candels in my ear  !!!!!!  yes, this so called POPI  system,  very strange so I am now waiting to see if it worked.
Johnston's of Egham are no more,  now living is a wee village a few miles away - not sure what the equivelant of a "But ' Ben" is in the posher parts of England.

Spark Mark online ,  new excuse for not cutting down a tree -  "there are birds living in it" - better lie down and wait till they move !!!.

Was at the BNI - TGI (Cult) meeting at 7 a.m. this morning, great crowd as usual, very enthusiastic, and heard a brilliant comment from Ali at 9 Dots Communications -  he had been to see a client about her broadband and when asked how fast it was she said  " Slower than a week in Barlinnie !!!!" -  for those who are not acquained with our penal sysyem, Barlinnie ' "The Bar L"  is the big jail in Glasgow, run by the prisoners at the taxpayer's expense.
So as the weekend is now upon us, under normal circumstances for the majority is time off -  no way, jobs to be done - so as the Seven Dwarfs said , we work work work, etc. -  Bit of an ethic problem - some come to work to earn a wage, other just come to get paid !!!!      BED.
