There's a definite autumnal feel to the weather today ...

Oh well: at least it's a 4 day "working" week. And it's the U.S. Open. And United are in the top half of the table, although Solskjaer's decision to retire's made me feel very old ...

Finished reading The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper. It was OK, but I kind of felt like ( Read more... )

I really need to think of something to do on Bank Holiday Monday: I want to be back for about half 4 for the start of the U.S. Open, but other than that I've got nothing particular planned. Although I need to read all the Egypt stuff. Never will I get the hang of the Arabic ( Read more... )
