Concentration

Went to the golf club today to meet a mechanic, who came up from Rio to assess the state of our non-functioning golf cart. While we waiting for him, we hit a few balls on the practice ground, something we should obviously do more often but usually can't be bothered. This little girl was riveted, so I gave her my 9 iron and her father tried to help her swing it. That didn't work too well, but she seemed to find putting the balls back in the basket much more satisfying.

The news about the cart is better than we expected - it will involve quite a bit of expense, but could have been much worse. Fingers crossed we might have one that works sometime soon - and then maybe get rid of it, since HH has had his hip replacement and my knee is working reasonably well at present.

We received a last-minute invitation to join friends for curry in the evening. It was all done in great style, excellent curries and side dishes, and all perfectly presented. It makes me seriously doubt our capacity to come up to scratch when we try to return their hospitality.
