Your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet (Alan Hull)

Yes I exhausted myself working the whole
weekend....so its back to the drawing couch.
It was a thoroughly nice weekend with very nice
golfers but my temple told me that perhaps my
return to the track was premature. The sixth
tee of the New course is the real test. You can see
5 counties from there. When the North wind blows
through there I start to hallucinate...I imagine large
ugly birds to be circling. It is a humbling experience.
I normally dont start the season full on until
St. Davids day....it seems strangely appropriate. I
may well do the same thing again this year. I dont
think the winter has finished with us just yet. So I
am being intelligently cautious ....oh yes. You will
not be catching this fellow without his long -johns
on.
" Never cast a clout til May is out.."...my wise old
mother used to say . She also used to say " See where
the crowd is going , and go the other way..". Thats why I
have never seen a professional football game right from
the start. She was clearly barmy but its odd how one
bigs up ones parents as you get older. Dont start me on
my father....even the bigged up version is less than
complimentary.
But I didnt get where I am today without having
a clear map , clear succinct instructions as to how to behave,
good guidelines. My therapist says I have an overdeveloped
sense of revenge.
Well see about that.
