Good day on the links today.  Walked 18, didn't feel tired at all.  Sore feet though.  Played OK, 93, hardly any cheating.  I caught up with two dudes at a tee box and one dude said I could play through or join up, so joined up.  Pleasant guys.  Not a "natural" age pairing for two guys (18ish and 35ish) so I guessed sugar daddy and sugar baby.

Planning a few trips out in Wales next weekend and week, but three days of still threatened national rail strikes has put the kibosh on that. :grr:

Randomly came across a Ferrari 488(?) yesterday.



Since it's open top, I think it should be a 488 Spider.

I just saw Ralphe Fiennes in a strange place. Getting on the Elizabeth line in my neighborhood.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

So I'm golfing, and a see a turtle making its way across the course.  A little context.  Last year I saw a much larger turtle moving very slowly across the course.  There are a couple man made ponds on the course and it seemed to be heading from one to another.  A day or two later I saw that turtle dead, about halfway between one pond and another.  I wonder why the turtles make the walk.  Is there something bad about that one pond?  It would have been awesome if both turtles could tell me where they wanted to go.  I would have been happy to give them a lift.

Same ex con guy from earlier had found his way there and was arguing at the drive in booth about getting served despite not having a car. So I just went home. I was :hung over.
Went to a farm-zoo thing today and puked via a mix of the hang over and motion sickness on the way.

Just saw this. In my younger days walking up to the drive-in booth after a Saturday night was standard. I wonder if they would care nowadays.

Also, for hangover prevention, drink a lot of water. :P

I tried that once at a drive through and they said they can't for liability reasons.

Glorious day on the links today.  Excellent weather, walked 9 holes in the early afternoon and shot a respectable 10 over.  Then I subbed in for the Thursday golf league and shot a blistering 6 over.  I've been playing like pure shyte for the last few weeks so doubly enjoyable.

Got my second lifetime eagle today. :)

:cool:

That's a lot of effort to hit a ball that far.

It's a very short hole.

There's not many functional phone booths in Vienna any more, but one of the more interesting ones is around the corner from me, looking like something from a post-human/post-apocalyptic future:

Does it smell as bad as the ones in the Viennese metro around, say, 2012?  :P

Duque, I think the green stain running out of the booth tells us all we need to know. :P
