It has been a few months but it looks like I’ll make it for a round on Sunday. Let us hope my shoulder is up to it…

Made it to an Olympic event…

I was fortunate enough to go to the football semi final game in Shanghai.

A nice stadium…

I have a couple of videos of myself and Benjamin having a swing at it which I have uploaded.

Golf weekend and bits…

July 26th

We did it and had good fun. Met up at 8am (had to get up earlier than during the week), a short taxi ride and we absorbed our first 1 hour golf training lesson followed by 30 minutes alone at the range. it went very well and we feel confident that after another 2 hours of lessons we can get loose on the course… So we have booked again for next Saturday.

All this followed by a nice lunch in a French restaurant called 570 before hitting town for serious shopping.

July 24th

I finally gave in. After so many invitations and finally agreed to give it a go this coming weekend. Philip, Benjamin and I are going to get some lessons starting Saturday morning. If we like it and think we can keep up with the others, we shall play regularly. I suppose a few rounds of golf at the weekend is a way of keeping out of mischief.

Another great race and weekend…

More to follow…

Off to Le Mans 24H tomorrow

The time has come again. I shall be off early in the morning to meet up with Graham and son in Paris early afternoon. We are aiming to be in the gite in time for aperitif and dinner. Hopefully Bob & Bob have arrived safely today and will be doing a bit of shopping tomorrow (plenty of Ricard). Also hopefully Joerg, Acki and Andreas will not be too far behind me from Germany. Not sure sure when Chris and son are due to arrive. The only one missing will be Christian who cannot make it till Friday night.

Am really looking forward to it all.
