Canadian geese family

Today was finally hot! Sunshine all day and temperatures were about 23C. We took Xena for a long walk in the woods today, finding the shady areas but she still was hot and glad to get home to the cool of the house.

Gavin and I had lunch at our local pub and then after lunch we went to play nine holes of golf again. I should have known it would not go well today - I had a bad night's sleep, I woke up at 3.30am and did not sleep well after that. The neck and lower back are still painful and no better after my physio last week, and I have diligently been doing the exercises I was given. I also did a yoga class this morning from an online video to help stretch my back and spine but it has been uncomfortable all day. Anyway, I played so badly today! The same nine holes that I played last week when I played the best ever, today was the worst ever. I know it goes like that. I certainly had plenty of bunker practice today, they were like a magnet for my ball! To be fair Gavin also played badly and he had no valid excuse. The best part of golf today was the thirst quenching Gunners I drank on the terrace after playing golf.

This family of geese are on the water at the 9th hole, and it is about the only photo I took today. There is plenty of water on this golf course and consequently plenty of bird life, which is lovely to see.
