Whirlwind. And a pie.
Mrs M's birthday today and what a whirl it is. Cards made, presents wrapped, children reminded. Breakfast in bed (whether wanted or not) needs to be prepared and days at work prepared for. Plus child 2 is off to Latitude so tent and rucksack found and cash handed over ("Really? You need that much?"). Oh and packed lunches. Have I remembered everything? Expecting a few calls asking for assistance...
I'm following your mosh thoughts. Gentler bloggers may be relieved to know there is one more next week before we rest our aching leather clad limbs. I'm loving it because there isn't a rock show on Radio 2 so it gets scattered liberally across the network (though Desmond Carrington yet to meet his quota on this). Whenever AC/DC get some airplay the response is overwhelmingly positve. I'm hoping the inner rocker in all of us (soul fans included) find themselves nodding just a little, even as they run to the hills. As The Maiden boys would have it. (I had a curry with Iron Maiden once after Top of the Pops. Sweet, polite and charming. Nice boys) Nigel with some veggie pie today and oldies please for THE OPEN GOLF at ROYAL ST GEORGE today. It is such a big sporting event that, even though we have only just saluted Rory's win in America, we re-visit the tees, fairways and bunkers for musical inspiration.
Have a calm and organised Thursday, see you after 5.

Many happy returns to Mrs Mayo. I personally have never liked the idea of breakfast in bed - mainly because I need to be up and moving for a while before I can face any food ;o)
Can't remember whether any of these were suggested last time we had a golfing theme, but how about:
SWING YOUR DADDY by Jim Gilstrap
SULTANS OF SWING by Dire Straits
EAGLE by Abba

Soul is very unrepresented on BBC2 Trevour I know does a show but he tends to favour the funk and crossover style of soul, the regional stations do there bit with Motown and Northern shows....Steve White on BBC Sheffield and Russ Winstanley on BBC Lancashire both do fine shows...you might like to tune in one week? A soul slot would be fantastic even if only now and then on your show....:-)

Didn't we have golf oldies fairly recently? I'm sure we did, and I was rubbish at selecting any because I know nowt about golf!
Thankfully since then (not so much of a rocker) Desmond Carrington played some golf related songs on his show. See Simon, short on rock but long on golf!! ;)
Anyways my oldie suggestions...

Straight Down the Middle, Bing Crosby
Billie, I didn't want to give anything away, I'm glad I didn't. I was pleased Joe won in the end. I was surprised when Rolando said Joe was as good as, if not better than, he was at the same age. I'll watch his career with interest now. Wasn't interested in him as a pop singer.

Last week I took a break from juggling two jobs for a break in the sun .. Mr from Eastleigh is self-employed and doesn't really do time-off, so it was a long-awaited break ..
I won't go over all the gory details here, but I spent the first 28 hours at Gatwick Airport, and the final 9 at Rhodes Airport .. the bit in the middle was wonderful, on a small island with no vehicles or travel reps, but the bits either end were not ..
Anyway, the good news is that the two master from Eastleighs coped very well in our absinthe, and we came home to a clean house stocked with essentials such as
bread and milk, with all their washing done and the bins emptied .. the garden and allotment look well watered with no human intervention ..
The boss of my Thursday job has given me today as a lieu day to sort out my issues with the holiday firm, hence the chance to blog .. so I will be pooping in and out between researching Regulation 261/2004 (on compensation for flight delays) and handing out my laundry ..

The voice of Dr Mosh reigns supreme in my house at present [I'm listening at a more convenient time].
Noting some viewpoints in here [whilst celebrating our differences] I've nailed my Dr Mosh colours to the mast on several occasions - so I still say - 12 or so minutes out of 8 hours programming? Surely that's not too much to ask?
Anyhow - thanks Matt for playing the quality stuff. I've never been particulary picky or precious about the type of music I like - would never say I'm purely a fan of rock, or punk, or folk, or country, or new wave, or britpop, or soul, R&B, indie, metal, rap, reggae, ska, blues, C&W. jazz, classical, etc etc.
I'm just a fan of GOOD MUSIC - and you are playing the good stuff, and that's good enough for me.
And whilst I'm adopting the moral high ground - yes, LuciesMum #6 - the list of previous golf oldies is available for all to see - as are the two blogs which show the bloggers' requests on those days - but I'd rather not spoil everyone's fun so early in the day ...
Also adding a caring thought or two to those that are having a hard time at present. I know how you're feeling. It's a real treat for me to have the time to come in here - always makes me feel better.
Judging by the coverage at Sandwich so far I'm requesting:

If time permits, we'll try Steep Hill too. Another friend has a book of walks in the Wolds with suitable watering holes - sounds like fun - may give that a go before winter.

MANY HAPPY RETURNS MRS MAYO !
Lovely to see you Alison, sorry to hear about your extended stay at the airports.
Can't think of any toons to suggest that haven't been suggested before.
A HOIB candidate would be ANY OLD IRON by STANLEY HOLLOWAY!
The vet has arrived, our poor little pony will have his legs crossed! Bless him!

Anyway my slightly tenuous suggestion is:
DOWN UNDER BY MEN AT WORK (the vegemite sandwich mention of course!)
Also, Men at Work is apt as Royal St George's is a men only Golf Club.

My dear old mummy is being assessed for residential care today. She was a tad cantankerous this morning and my sis is anxious that Mum behaves herself during the assessment.

(All good practice for her. She has just passed her first year and wants to specialise in equine medicine.) A few carrots and a polo or two seem to have cheered him up a little. Will get some pics up soon.
Tortie, I start back at work next week, 4 days with Fridays off. Just trying to get everything up straight at home first.

KatyMatey - oh yes, I got a mensh for 'Baby Driver' last time round. Thanks for the reminder! ;o)
MCW - hugs to Little Buddy. Good that your GD got the chance to assist - hope he won't hold it against her! Actually, maybe you can answer a question that has always puzzled me - what is the difference between a pony and a horse?

We have two stables that will need clearing out. GD is sharing a flat (which has 5 double bedrooms!!) in London. However, in her third year they do move out to the other campus at Potters Bar which has livery there. But I expect he'll still stay here.I have got one photo on fb at the moment, but it was quite dark as it was taken at night. Daughter sat down on the grass in her pj's and the little fellow came over and sat down with her! Very sweet.

At 15:57 14th Jul 2011, Molly Coddle wrote:#82 Deebee, it is all to do with the animals height. A pony is generally 14.2 hands or under. Anything above this is considered horse. Our little chap is only about 13hh at the moment, and may probably make 14 hands (56 inches tall), but as GD is not terribly tall, he will make an ideal sized riding pony and also I think they are considering him as a driving pony with a cart!

Toots, well done on your recent running .. I took my trainers to Greece with me, primarily for a walk that I'd planned, but managed one 7.30am and one 8.30pm run .. very hot but they made me feel good ..
Please can someone sum up the past weeks key blog-events for me, as I'm still working on my letter .. any births, deaths or marriages?

How I wish that fate, instead of delivering the moth to me, had instead proffered a lottery win. I am somewhat scared of moths at the best of times, and as far as I know, am completely fearless in the face of massive amounts of free cash. This is, however, only conjecture. I suspect that the moth would have preferred fate to have been kinder to me as well.
