Yesterday didn't turn out as bad as I thought.  Despite a very inaccurate weather forecast that led me to cancel my (and several other peoples) dive weekend,  I had a reasonable days fishing on the pond.  I drew peg 2.  This is not where I would have chosen to fish, but following advice from the 'experts', I fished tight to the bank and caught nothing.  Fishing further out brought me some tiny perch and roach, and in the afternoon I had a very unexpected 19lb carp - thank you very much!!  I didn't win the match; didn't even come close, but it was nice to count a carp in with my weight.  The day had been beautiful, perfect for diving - thank you very much Mr. weatherman.  I arrived home at 5-00, and after washing off the smell nets, enjoyed a beer or three in the garden.  Tea or should I say dinner, was chicken and baguette + some more beer.  I slept like a log.

     Today has been a busy day in the PO.  Lots of car tax and some passport work.  Ian and Kay took their boy fishing.  They borrowed my kit and went to Seven Oaks.  I went down to see how they were doing and watched as they caught small bream and roach.  After lunch I managed to pack some trac envelopes ready for posting.  The stamps will come on Wednesday; I want them all in the postal system as soon as possible after that.  Tonight there's a dive meeting at the centre.  I've got a bottle of wine for the raffle and am ready for the flack re- yesterday.  Well, you can't get it right every time.
