Well what if you had a tipple or two in the end dear chap as it was certainly well worth it in the end with a trip to the lovely city of Paris and you can even stop off to purchase some Haute couture for your wife on the way.

Anyway our happy thought of the day came yesterday when Osem snr. managed to get his first match report published on an internet site. Entirely by his own efforts, the lad's made good contacts with our local 'Conference League' team for whom he writes regularly in the match programme. More recently he's got the attention of the website owners and represented the site at the match earlier in the week. Evidently, he sat in the press box and wrote his notes then came home and worked on it until midnight before emailing his final report. I must say what I read was much better than I'd thought it'd be. There were one or two things I'd have changed of course and a couple of minor mistakes but, all in all, it was very good. He even tells me some live commentary work may be coming his way soon! So it looks like we now have a budding karate club sensei and sports journalist on our hands. Who'd have thought?...

She is the reason it will cost me. Any one for some horse steak

Just booked Le shuttle £364.25p on its own ( caused by taking the dog ) Normally we fly. Glad we are staying with friends. Taking the wife's tank for the space in the back. That wont be cheap either. Yes she(The dog) is all papered up. Wondering about changing cars once across to get left hand drive & french number plate. Driving in Paris

That is some amount of pills. How do you manage to remember?

My happy thought. We had a great time at a concert in Liverpool on Tuesday night. Great singer Dale Watson from Texas. WE stayed at a Premier Inn & came home Wednesday. Brilliant.

Received a cheque for £87 for a tax rebate, now do I liquidise the cash
