Not too much to report of these days. The day is fantastic, the autumn colours are at their peak and we all slept fairly well and didn’t wake unduly early.
I’m writing this at Wellshire Golf Course in Denver … and the line-up in front of me at the driving range is (from my right) Nick, Danny, Ben, Harry, John and Tyler all knocking floating golf balls in to the lake. The backdrop to all this is an autumnal Colorado, and the snow dusted Rockies a way to the west.
We were due to lunch and swim at Ron and Sarah’s (Stacey’s parents) no more than a ten minute drive from John and Lindsey’s. ‘Left on University, left on Belview, left on Asbury’ says Danny.
We’re off at half-twelve and making good progress. But at quarter past one we’re still looking for Asbury. East on Belview and back. West on Belview – just in case I’d misheard (Anne was having doubts!) … then really far east on Belview and back.
On the way back, we saw Danny’s landrover sitting at a junction … of Belview and Albion. (Ahhhh, Albion !!!)
Danny’d phoned to find whether we’d left and John had reported ‘About 40 minutes ago’.
The pool felt all the better for the plunge.
A delicious lunch out in the sun and at the back of 2 an important football match on the box; Denver Bronco’s v New England Patriots.
I nipped in and out every now and then to get a general flavour of the adverts and replays … and sometimes picked up a bit of live action. The Broncos won in the end, having had a convincing lead which they gradually lost in the third quarter.
Quote of the day from Danny - ‘Ask Mom, honey, Daddy’s watching The Bronco’s’.
Back to John and Lindseys around 6. Delicious pork fillets for supper.
