The Nephew, a meal and loosing my mind x

OK I know it's now Tuesday but I've just got time to catch up on what I did at the weekend.
Oh it was a good one SUN,SUN,SUN and proper hot summer sun as I'm sure you know, but after last year with months of rain of biblical proportions it just can't be said enough WE HAVE LOTS OF SUN.

SATURDAY
 

Anyway Saturday morning the nephew came for a visit as he wanted to go to the stables with Al to ride on Tetley and I'm positive he must grow a few inches every night as he's just so tall I feel like a midget.
He managed to empty my tin of biscuits I baked the other day well with the help of the dogs that is

Please Please Please can we have some biscuit

The rest of Saturday was spent mooching around the garden then a nice walk with the dogs.

Sunday

It's Nick's (my son) birthday today so he wanted to go for a family meal on Sunday and my sister Collette suggested The Wharf in town (Manchester) I've never been before but I booked a table and arranged to meet them there, so me, Al, Nick and his friend Becky nipped on the train and off we went.

The pub is set next to the canal with barges parked up and lots of tables and chairs outside with a BBQ going and on such a lovely day it was a shame to have to go sit inside for our meal but it was worth it as the food was yummy.

There was a really good relaxed atmosphere which was helped by the barge people setting up their BBQ on the grass at the side they were messing around in a dingy and one guy was swimming in the canal.

So that just leaves 'loosing my mind' which I accomplished yesterday when I went for a hack with Jess one of the girls from the stables, we decided to go bare back no harm in that, but Jess who is half my age and twice the rider expressed a desire to jump the log. Now any normal, sane 50 year old would decline on this offer most strenuously but no not me I went for it full throttle only to find myself on the ground battered and bruised ah well serves me right maybe next time I'll just say no.
