Breakfast and Dinner Out

Up early this morning and a brisk walk to Mike's for the Men's Breakfast meeting. A pleasant walk and a pleasant breakfast of sausages, bacon, eggs and tomatoes. The talk was less pleasant as we discussed the doom and gloom presented to the world by our diminishing resources and political instability in the Middle East. A brisk walk back home, via the newsagents for a paper, and then up to Barry's Field to watch Tom play football against Dummer. Tom played well during the first half but rather tired himself out for the second. They eventually won 4-3. Mary and Sara went into Salisbury this afternoon for her ballet and Tom and I stayed at home. I dealt with some correspondence and paid some bills. This evening Sara and I went to a "posh frocks" do at Melksham Assembly Hall (Wiltshire Provincial and Grand Officers' Dinner). A pleasant evening although the speeches were a little too long. Sara wasn't feeling too well when we got back - not sure if it was something she ate or just feeling under the weather. On the way up to Melksham we listened on the radio to the thrilling Peterborough United v. Saints game which ended in a 4-4 draw after three penalties! Saints were winning 3-4 right up until the final two minutes of extra time. They still have quite a bit of catch-up to do in order to get into the automatic promotion places.
