Septeverus Snape

 As with most things Harry Potter, September is memorable for large moments of invisibility. A couple of wet days in the lakes at Cartmel, car maintenance, painting the upsatirs bedrooms and losing in the final of the Visionaries knock-out golf competition consigned the month to Room 101, roll on October where there might be some real news.

 August was a month dominated by golf. The Liverpool Society of Golf Captains had their annual four day trip away this year to Harrogate, and a jolly splendid time was had by all. One of the Wallasey crew picked up a day prize and generally speaking the hospitality was very good.

A group of us at Wallasey  hosted a team from Colmar in the Alsace region of France. The last two years they had hosted us so it was fitting we were able to reciprocate. They enjoyed the English courses but not so much the weather, even though Alsace is billed as the dryest part of France!!

We will try to go to Colmar again next year, but WMBO and I are scheulde to have a mid-week break there in December and do their Christmas markets.

I also had my eyes tested for new glasses and as we enter November I am still awaiting their correct calibration. Maybe I will get them in time for said French trip. The optician does have a pleasant bedside manner, which may be the only saving grace at the moment

Black Day in July

 New philosophy to try to keep posting news....monthly updates!!

So to finish off Cyprus, wedding was fine but I caught a virus which helped me lose a bit of weight, no need for fat jabs on my watch, managed to get on flight home which could have been a bit of a frightner but alls well that ends well.....

Had a week off while Maxine went with the kids to Greece. Most strange arrangement though. She couldn't fly from Cyprus to Greece and meet up with the UK crew, even though it was less than an hour. If she was not on the Manchester flight, Jet2 would have cancelled the whole package so she had the flight back to Blighty then back to greece the next day. Still they all seemed to enjoy it.

I just played a bit of golf and helped out at the English Amateur golf tournament which was being hosted by Wallasey and Royal Liverpool. Wallasey came out of the week very favourably.

So all in all July eventful, but routine!!
