Home and dry!

So here I am, Thursday evening, knowing that this blog is a day late. I think I only realised it at about 23:45 last night when I was reading 'Personal' by Lee Child. I guess I'm saying it's better late than never. It's weird to think I'm on summer holidays and still don't have 15 minutes to write a blog. Pathetic really, isn't it? All I remember of my Wednesday was playing COD4 on Veteran, going to town to pick up a few pre-holiday items, mowing the back garden and cricket training. I think all of those were necessary events, particularly the gaming, so I think I'll give myself the benefit of the doubt this time.

We resume our journey in Prague, back to last Wednesday evening. I had some absolutely FIT pork ribs and we had a few drinks in the Old Town Square. At one point we were surrounded by about 15 kids, and I gambled by asking whether they were Spanish and they were! We had a great 5 minute conversation, including me asking one of them how old he was, to which he replied "30" - he looked no more than 14!

On Thursday we walked forever - to Prague Castle, back to our hotel, back to Old Town, and back to the hotel again. All worth it though, as the weather was great and the views were even better (see below). Another night drinking in the square and there were no complaints.


We got back on Friday evening and I was treated to an Indian takeaway - can't beat that - before resuming my career on the PGA Tour on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2014. I think I've won 5 out of my last 6 events so it's going well, thanks for asking.

The cricket last week was much better than the week before - two wins instead of two losses. Funnily enough we just don't seem to win when I contribute - it may be preferable to just be a specialist captain than pretending to bowl off spin or bat in the middle order. Hopefully the same will happen this weekend!

This week has been a bit of a rest - although it doesn't help that I've picked up a cough and cold - so I haven't done too much. Today I went to the driving range and hit some decent shots, surprisingly enough! Clearly my practice on the Xbox 360 has reaped rewards in real life.

Hopefully I have more to report next week (and on time)!
