Well, of course Mal had to do his usual April Fool! It was a cloudy, dismal day, as soon as the sun came out, it went again just as quickly. In fact in the evening we lit the log burner.
My sister rang and told me all about their day at the Olympic Stadium. Marion and my other niece Wendy went to support Julie. She said it was freezing there and the arrangements to get in and out of the stadium were chaotic, hopefully theyare making other plans ready for when it is in full use. Or the spectators will spend half their time gridlocked trying to cross the road. They saw Princess Beatrice who was also running and many other stars.
Perhaps I should also add that Julie (who did the run) is running in the Reading Half Marathon today. She is a mother of three young children and a GP’s wife and she raises a lot of money for Cancer Research. Well done Julie!
In the afternoon we watched the Liverpool v Newcastle game followed by Spurs and Swansea. You have to admire Swansea and it was so nice at the end of the game to see the two Managers having a long chat pitch side.
As the weather in the UK is so good at the moment, there are some good bargains for outdoor furniture but they seem to be selling out quick, obviously with an extra 15% off!
