Wednesday 1^st August

I don’t quite know how it happened but I went to Jersey Hospice shop today at St Ouen looking for a stair gate(for the puppy) and came out with a three piece suite!!

I met the little people on the beach at Greve de Lecq; it was chilly although the children didn’t mind! It made me somewhat nostalgic for my formative years spent on the beach huddling behind at least two windbreaks, usually under the beach blanket, wearing jumpers and shivering!! And then to top it off it started raining, rapid exit from beach!

The vegetable garden is requiring hard core maintenance, which I don’t think I am qualified in, heavy duty removal of weeds and garden refuse…. I need a young, fit muscular man…let’s stop that fantasy right now, (think I’ve watched too many Olympic events!!

Went and played a little badminton tonight, always great fun and a chance to chat to friends.( we didn’t play like the Koreans so that’s ok)!

Best quote for badminton: "It doesn't matter how good you think you are and how bad you think your opponent is - if you are losing they are playing better badminton than you."
