Waled along coastal path with Lucy and bosskat. Beautiful views and was amazed at how dry the path was after all the rain.
Had a bit of a fish on the little beach - too weedy soon gave it up as a bad job.

Went early doors with Paul Clarke who runs the site and is son of Vic and Linda to Runcorn to play golf in the rain - it was glorious in Anglesey but barely stopped raining in Runcorn. Paul's society
Friday come back. Anyway didn't play too bad - hit a nice 6-iron off the tee on the first hole with a whopping audience and overall got 26 points in the pouring rain off 15 handicap with loads of trees all over the shop. Really enjoyed myself we played with/against John and Steve from the Licensed Traders society who were like the Chuckle Brothers so we were properly entertained. I couldn't putt for some reason so that cost me dear, got the odd par here and there but left a lot of shots on the course. Such is life.

The meal was steak and kidney pie with apple pie to follow - it was cracking. Got home a bit after 10pm.

Can't remember what we did on Wednesday - think we lounged about a bit and had another barbie in the evening. Cracking sunsets then went fishing - perfect conditions got a little bass just as someone asked me "what are you fishing for?" - perfect timing. Missed a really decent bite as well - the one that got away - the beach was in perfect conditions with tables of water - all you have to do is cast beyond the third breaker and wait.

Fished Dinas Dinlle and Menai straits both of which were rubbish in the daylight. Never mind such is life. About 5pm had some terrible news about an accident that put us in a right spin.

| Dina Dinlle - scenery good, daytime fishing not so |

| Fishing Menai Straits opposite the entrance to Carnarfon Golf Course - rubbish and snaggy |

Up early and on road as soon as we'd had breakfast. Made a few stops on the way home but got home about 2pm'ish I think.

Cleared back yard and put storage chests up to make the missus happy! Tidied it up no end - the rotary composter had got to go onto number 7 at the allotment I think, the old gas bbq went down to the tip as did a load of other rubbish besides.
Sunday 13th August 2017
Took missus and Lucy to Cross for lunch.
Mowed lawns - dog likes a nicely mown lawn to kip on, pruned tomatoes, cleaned fishing kit so salt don't rot stuff to bits.
Went to lotty and brought back a ton of beans, courgettes, raspbobs etc.etc. Going to have millions of pumpkins and butternut squashes in due course.
Bed early back to bedlam tomorrow (or if not bedlam, work at least....)
