In the meanwhile,
I've put off putting paintbrush to T-Rex (here's someone else's effort) and also avoided assaulting the garden with a machete and vicious chemical pollutants. I've looked at the price of a round of golf on the local golf course (£50 concession price for locals and £135 full price for others [faints dead away]) and eschewing golf matters in favour of more sedentary pursuits I've acquired the latest compact disc offerings from Alanis Morissette and Avril Lavigne.
Other stuff may have happened too, but if so it must have been less memorable than the above, you'll be glad to hear.
