....ding, ding, round two.....

Up at 5.30 to go fishing.....30 mile trip to the venue.

The fishing was not good for the following reasons........
1. The world's worst bacon butty
2. Only 15 signed up for the match...but 17 turned up
3. Shaun and I had to negotiate with the owner for two extra pegs
4. The anglers that drew the extra pegs complained that they weren't happy and wanted a redraw....no chance.
5. Shaun (ever the diplomat) gave up his peg and swapped with one of the disgruntled "mates"....the other one looked hopeful that I might do the same....i gave him a short two word, 7 letter answer.
6. It rained and the wind blew for the first two hours.
7. For the last three hours the wind was so strong it was impossible to see the bites.
8. Very few people caught decent weights.
9. I had one carp, one bream and four roach for 5lb 2oz.
10. The one who "swapped" with Shaun picked up money for winning his section.

Home to find the Boss and Daughter had laid the path and the membrane.

The Boss informed me that I can collect 13 bags of "Plum" slate chippings and spread them tomorrow afternoon to complete the job.

My plans for a couple of quiet hours to make up for today were instantly dashed.

The pub was heaving tonight....no seats...so D and I sacked going out.....holiday time drinkers really pee me off!
