Well its Friday again and another week has passed. It's been a busy week with the new staff at school getting settled into their accommodation and getting the lie of the land. We have been heavily involved in their induction week making sure that they have all they need. A far cry from the help we received a year ago. Although we got lots of help it was not formally organised like this year. Things are much more well organised now. We had a few meals out with them and generally got to know them quite well.
Not long now till Ashley arrives. She asked if we had a parasol for the roof terrace and we said we didn't. I tried some silver gaffa tape and attached a golf umbrella to the deck chair. Perfect I think although it looks a wee bit Heath Robinson! Ashley may not approve and so we might need to make a new purchase. The new bed has arrived and the new suite arrives next weekend. Nicola is coming out to see us too in October so we are looking forward to that.
School starts officially on Sunday with a couple of inservice days before the students arrive on Tuesday. It still looks impossible that the work in the school will be complete before then but it is amazing what can be achieved when the pressure is on.
Got up with the sun this morning for an early few holes before the sun got up too high. It was only when I arrived at the course that I realised there are two locks on the locker room and so I couldnt get in for my clubs! Golf is a difficult game but I can assure you it's nigh on impossible with no clubs and no balls. I had to wait till the staff arrived so I only managed to play 6 holes before it was too hot to continue. We went back tonight and played another 5. Weather has remained very hot and humid.
Planning a meal out for our anniversary this week but not sure where we'll go. I better make it somewhere a bit special if I can. I believe there's a Macdonald's drive through at Alosra Shopping Mall, that should do nicely.
Well I think that's the news for this week.

Happy Anniversary to both of you hard to believe its 30 years already I only wish that we could have had a meal to celebrate but we can't but we can have a glass of wine to toast you both. We have had a very busy weekend as the corporation finals were held at our green.The ladies did the club proud with all their home baking all the members present did their bit and you won't believe it but the sun came out and has continued for the next 2 days lets hope it continues,Valerie and I were at Crail Open on Sunday and won 3 of our 4 games but failed to qualify in our section as one pair won all 4 games,but we enjoyed our day as it was really warm.Dave going to the football on Saturday keen to use his passes again.I hope you both enjoy your meal out wherever you go . I expect you will be getting excited about Ashley and Nicola coming to see you it will be good.I'm a bit late in blogging as I was a bit tired earlier after our busy weekend.Never the less I did think about you both earlier. CHEERS TO YOU BOTH LOVE MUM AND DAD XXX
