Sure has been!
First off, I've been lumbered with the dreaded sciatica. I put my back out a few weeks ago, L3 and L4 in my lumber region became slightly mis-placed and have irritated the sciatic nerve as a result. Ouch! I've seen an osteopath on 2 occasions and at last it seems to be abating. Thank Gawd for that.
What else...oh yeah, we've had the highly entertaining Julie Feuhrbacher staying with us for a few days. Boy that girl sure loves a pint or 4 of Hobgoblin! I picked her up at London Heathrow, then, on the return journey, some wagg decided to close down the entire M4 going west. So we had to make our way back to WSM on the back roads. At least Julie got a circular tour of Bath City which she seemed to enjoy. She was great fun to have around so we miss her now she's gone.
What else..umm...oh yes! Southampton lost 2 - 3 after being 2 - 0 up! Poor old 'arry.
We had a great weekend away which is why I've been absent for a few days. We had our annual family get-together at Cenre Parcs, and this time it was our turn to choose the venue, so we elected for Longleat as it's about an hours run from our place. Lot's of wine, lots of good food, lots of excellent company. Plus I did a fair bit of swimming. which seems to have helped the back pain to have settled down somewhat.
So that was it. A good time was had by all!
