Stereotypes on a Sunday

It rained all weekend. And I mean all weekend. It’s been bloody horrible. The only positive thing I can say about it is ‘at least we weren’t camping’
Philippa worked on Saturday, which meant I could sit with Ted watching the golf without having to feel guilty. It was nice to be sat indoors while the professionals battled the elements. Ted is pleased that Darren Clarke won The Open because, and I quote, “He’s been through a rough few years and deserves to win a Major. And because I stuck a tenner on him on Thursday when his odds were twenty-to-one.” I suggested he buy something nice for Beryl with his winnings. He replied “Don’t be so bloody stupid. If she knew I won it gambling she’d post my nuts to Albania.”
Beryl and Philippa spent some quality time together while ‘The Men’ watched golf. Philippa tells me she has now learnt the art of making Eccles cakes, and how to hide a bottle of ‘cooking sherry’ in every cupboard in the kitchen.
