WELL what a week. Busier than ever!

Attended a charity fun day last weekend and enjoyed the company of friends. Monday saw me at Wigan athletic again, but this time along with Irene. Introduced as special guest Sven Goran Eriksson and left certain people guessing. Again enjoyed a wonderful day in the company of friends on a beautiful day.

I was due to attend Whitefield Fire Station's Fun Day, but had to offer apologies as I am in London at a private party on the same day. I am sorry that I cannot attend as this was booked some time ago, but there is an additional problem with the travel by train due to disruption at the London end, and therefore have to start out earlier.

Already in London Sunday, I am awaiting confirmation of a job for Sky Television on Tuesday. I only received sparse information this afternoon, so more as it happens.

Had to buy "capable" luggage today as the amount of tackle I now have to carry has increased. Suit, blazer, trousers, overcoat (middle of summer but still have to lug around an overcoat as wardrobe!) track suit, trainers and other bits of football gear.

More about the Sunday party after the event. Veeeeery exciting!

BTW, the party's with the queen (lookalike of course) Jeanette Charles. Maybe this is a ploy to get me there for a knighthood -a sort of Jim'll fix it! Sir Colin Lyne!!!
