Should I stay or should I go? Well the Clash knew it was going to be a clash. Let's examine the facts (facts? Shurely some mistake here....ed).
The economy will be flattened....but it might not be.
We will be able to secure our borders.......but might not be able to.
Immigration will fall.......but it might not.
Austerity will increase.......but prosperity might increase.
The NHS will be better funded.......but we lose all the EU NHS funding
Regional development grants will stop.......but will it matter
The UK will keep it's payments which currently go to the EU, but will they outweigh EU subsidies
Air travel and holidays will cost more.........but nobody will pay so prices will fall
House prices will fall.......like they do regularly, not.
So there we have it.....and here is Julie Garland singing Somewhere over the Rainbow.

I can see your house from here
As the golf matches slow down for a while, its time for house maintenance. The big job I have been putting off is painting the wooden surrounds and soffits on the roof.
It's a scaffold job, and one I will probably need a couple of professionals for. One to do the woodwork and one to do the painting. So it's a few phone calls tomorrow.
I have built a slide in the garden for the ankle biters. The slide is connected to a tree and the kids have two ways to climb up. Either on the rustic ladder or by using the climbing wall. The wall is made up of coloured handhelds and gives them a different sort of challenge. So it won't be long before an A & E trip is planned!!
A new addition to the eco friendliness of the garden has been a water butt which collects water from the room of the storage shed. I am already using the water on the pots and new flower beds and that has allowed us to harvest our baby salad leaves twice already. We already have wood piles, wild flower patches and butterfly & bee friendly flowers so I seem to be doing my bit for the wildlife.
This has been confirmed by a wren nesting in the eaves of the house, a blue tit nest in the wall and a blackbirds in the yew hedge. Just need to keep those magpies at bay...now where is that air rifle?

A Senior moment...or two
I have been suffering Firefox v Google conflicts which have restricted my blogging but I think I have cracked it.....
The last month or so has seen Wallasey golf club Seniors section celebrate 50 years as a sub-section of the Club, which interestingly is also celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.
The Seniors had a Jubilee Stableford competition early in May, and last Friday hosted members of all the clubs we play matches against, in a better ball fun event. The celebration concluded with a gala black tie dinner at the Club when over 70 people ate, drank and danced the night away. The Jubilee Cup was presented on the night by the Club captain, Paul Corvers.
Earlier in the week there was a two day Seniors scratch stableford competition which was won with a very creditable 65 points. The Club will now focus on their 125th celebration week in June.
I will now focus on the weekend, as Plymouth Argyle lock horns with AFC Wimbledon at Wembley for the final promotion place from Division 4, as we die hards call it!
Argyle have sold in excess of 31,000 tickets almost twice as many as Wimbledon so the atmosphere should be belting. I was at Wembley the last time Argyle got to the play-offs. That was twenty years ago at the old stadium and Argyle won 1-0. Neil Warnock was manager at the time and Ronnie Mange scored the winning goal. All great fun.
So here's hoping the Green Army can cheer Argyle to victory once again, and I can say, I was there!
