mistletoeI have a cold. How very dare I. The sinus thing I have had since a week past Thursday decided to become sneezy and sniffy and eye hurty yesterday for realz so I have at least got rid of the headache. Yesterday was funny. We had arranged for mam and dad to come up here, unless it was raining, in which case I would go down to their place. It was raining so off I went. When I got there, the door was locked. I realised they had gone up to my house. After much fumbling with the house phone, mobile phones and voice mails we eventually got in contact and they came back to their house from my house which I hadn't tidied up like I normally do Anyway, we sat at their house for the rest of the day and watched the golf. I came home at teatime and went to bed. Didn't get up until 9.15 and I feel much better, just runny nosed.

I see your prediction has come to fruition as news is reporting Ms. Brooks has been arrested.
Are you watching the Open? Clarke just narrowly avoided disaster in the bunker. I'm rooting for him.

I am switching between the golf and Bertie and Elizabeth. Mickelson seems to be having a bit of a run at it.
