It's All About Me...................

As often happens the proposed/possible mediation for last Friday fell out meaning I was able to return from Greymouth on Thursday afternoon with a record of 4 from 4, all grist to the mill with the end of the financial year approaching and settlement rates being calculated. I am still of the view The Smelting House Cafe supplies the best coffee fix, in and around Greymouth, but Robert Harris further down on the other side of the street provides an acceptable alternative (if you have another view please let me know as I am always open to persuasion). I have a flying visit to Wellington in a couple of weeks and it will be interesting to see how the coffee compares (I doubt there will be time for golf!).

Congratulations or commiserations ought to be extended to Stephanie as by a feat of magnificent endurance and patience or on the other hand plain stupidity she has managed to hold the title of "The Girlfriend" for a period of 12 months (as at Saturday 19 June). The next year will bring a further renewed commitment to...........golf (for the both of us)!

Sometimes you just do not realise how busy things are until you come out the other end. On the family front it has simply been all go. My son Taidhg, in his last year at College, has just completed appearing in the joint St Margret's production of Sound of Music cast as Captain von Trapp. It was an impressive staging of the musical and I was a very proud Dad given his performance.

As some of you may know my daughter, who lives with me, has been suffering from a condition known as ITP that took a turn for the worse in late May necessitating the removal of her spleen. Fortunately a couple of weeks on this looks to have gone well and successfully dealt with the problem. Hopefully she will return to work early next week, a very relieved Dad.
