nice to be nice...nice to be cosy ( Dylan Thomas )

Funny old day really. Everyone was so nice. Not that that
is so unusual....but all at the same time. It almost seems that
everyone is getting into Xmas mode. The Jule zone as us golfing
bods like to call it. You know the one where you force a smile once
you have worked out what the present is and say
" Oh thats great Aunty Dilly...an arse and nose hair
remover all in one....what will they think of next...brilliant !"
You hold the strained smile long enough hoping shell look away.
The train journey was pleasant and peaceful...and almost
immediately after arriving at work I was sent out on the track.
The sun was shining....my golfer was pleasant ....the sun was shining
and Leon , my caddie companion was nice enough in between yawns
and texting his gel. The round took just over 3 hours.....and as I was
about to leave I popped into the shop to thank the bountiful pro and
caddie shack supervisor , Hamish Mixwell, and blow me down he handed
me two bags of top quality golf gear . Armani trousers....Ralph Lauren
shirts....even a couple of Boss shirts. I shall cut quite a dash out on the
fairways soon. Although I always think its a good idea to dress down in
front of the toffs. So I may keep them for best. I was almost overcome
with generosity. Then I bumped into Chilli and I was reminded that
outside of the gates of the Dale....its a jungle.
Just before skipping out of the gates the boss , Vincenzo , called me
into the office and told me I might be working again tomorrow. Its enough
to make a cynical man , a world weary man paranoiaic .....is this a bacon
tree ?........is this a hambush......er ambush........well see......
I think Ill wear my armani trousers tomorrow
Even the memsahib seems quite pleasant this evening.....its a ambush !
