Danger of cul-de-sac

I was the cul-de-sac, and this little IQ pulled out.  The IQ has a small turning circle, the driver just swing it around.  I stopped for the maneuver, but I was sure she did not see me, and did not care for taking up the whole road.

Alison Riske

Carol and I first saw Riske in Birmingham AGEON Classic.  She was playing mostly ITF, but trying out some WTA matches.

Riske was going to Vanderbilt like her sister Sarah, but she went pro instead.  I remember taking some yearbook pictures from the teams, including tennis team with Sarah.  So I am probably 2 or 3 degree separated from Alison.

I remember commented about how she had the shadow of Dementieva.  I thought about getting a picture with her, but one way or the other, we didn't get it.

A few years on, she made into 3rd round in the Wimbledon.  I am very happy for her.  She played some nice shots, but I wonder if she is suitable to play full western style.

If Carol is coming to England as planned, we hope to see her in either Birmingham or Eastbourne.  We will definitely try to catch her this time.

Posh Carrot

Verity asked if I can pick up some carrots from the market, not the normal carrots, the carrots still with the green attached.

Usually it takes me 10 minutes in the market, and I would have done the price check and bought everything.  I checked out all the vegetable stalls outside, and all the stall inside, only one stall sell it.

Those carrots was 5 times the normal carrots.  I refuse to buy them, I got Verity some mushrooms instead.

Language Training

I haven't been listening to my old songs.  Then I started, I remember why I can speak properly over these times being abroad.

Red Hot Phones

I don't usually use data on the phone, and even if I do, I don't use it for long.

Whilst I was in the course, I was logging on work email, and it did not take long to heat up the Blackberry.  And it also drains the battery very quickly.

I wonder why do people keep their data on on their phone.

Shoulder of Mutton

Shoulder of Mutton is a very nice pub in Kirby Overblow.  What a funny named town.

I don't often advertise, but it is a very nice pub.  Very nice decor, very nice atmosphere and a little over the top with the sleep decor.

But the most interesting thing is that, shoulder of mutton is on the menu.  I have not seen shoulder of mutton in the other Shoulder of Muttons I previously visited.

Electrical Regs

After much persuasion, my boss let me sign up o 17th Edition Elec Regs Course. 

I found very useful, and many things fall into places.  A lot of phenomena makes sense.

When I get back, I need to do some managing!
