Andy Murray is not going to play in the singles this year but will play in the doubles just announced.

My partner has agreed a sale of her house and we've agreed terms to
purchase a new home together.

Happy days - counteracts the "divorce" thread I suppose.

It's not raining in Burnley, for now.

I completed the Coast to Coast on Sunday.

Good news for me

Excellent never done it myself, how many stop overs did you do as a matter of interest?

The other good news associated with the above is that
we're moving back to Burnley from that enclave of Rovers fans, Darwen.

To be fair, they've been a good crowd on the Close, and they've kept my secret
from the patrons of the local pub.

And yes, it is a bungalow. Well guessed that man.

12 days, started the 19th, finished 30th, 67th birthday.

I loved every second of it, despite getting shin splints in my left leg from Danby Wiske.

It was spitting on and off for 3 hours on the 29th, the only sign of rain I had the whole trek.

Brilliant, must have particularly been satisfying not have to much rain I expect.

It meant the views, especially in the Lakes, were spectacular. Dressing for the weather is easy, but to be on top of the fells and only see 10ft in front of you would have been sad.

The Mrs didn't complain when I said I have changed the booking at Spago from tonight to tomorrow so I can watch the match tonight.

To experience that phenomenon you have to go to Spain or Greece, here in the UK and Ireland we just get Climate Change.

Just received a completion date of 12th July for my first home purchase, exactly 4 months after my offer was accepted.

Just checked and found out I have some Premium Bonds come in today

I finally got three chickens the other weekend, which are gaining lots of attention at the front.

And it's caught on, as someone else in my team now has three too!

In a plastic cage (with run) so hopefully no bad news impending from the curious foxes.

Careful Pompey, chicken owners aren't popular in some parts of Lancashire

Well done Colbern. We did it in 2010. Fantastic walk.

I've had a letter from myself written in 2044. It's about the current election and says I may have voted for Reform.

Of course I'm pleased to know that I'm still about and capable of writing something coherent (an improvement you might say!) but puzzled that I may have voted for Reform as I don't have any intention of doing so.

Could it be a wind up? Surely not.

Of course I will write back as I'd like to know more about how I've done in the intervening twenty years but I'm not sure where to address it. Possibly Leeds which is the address on the envelope.

My third novel in my fantasy trilogy is now with my editors - to be published late August. This brings an end to five years of blood, sweat, tears, angst, heartache, pride and lord knows how many other emotions. I have managed to write these books surviving a marriage break up, divorce, covid, moving house twice, putting kids through GCSEs, single-parenting, and all consuming day job and of course two relegations and a promotion.

If you are interested, the first two books are here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BWSFYF6H? ... sb_pc_tkin - sorry couldn't resist a cheeky plug
