“The best laid schemes o' mice an' men

[El Presidente]

No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may still go wrong with it.  “To a Mouse,” by Robert Burns: “The best laid schemes o' mice an' men 

 

So apt!  

I arrived back 4 PM Saturday from doing the groceries  in preparation for the fishing week away.  In terms of fruit, Tom only eates bananas. I don't eat them but I bought a plantation. Leg of lamb, tomahawk steaks, snags, rack of lamb, chocolates, potato crisps in weird and wonderful flavours such as "hot dogs" and "meat pies". What the hell ever happened to BBQ flavour!

Good to go. 

Phone rings. It's Tom. He came down on his ankle while playing competition basketball earlier in the day and can't walk. He is on crutches. Scans today as the swelling is down.  2-3 weeks. 

Fishing postponed until the week of the 20th of July. 

Banana bread on sale this week in our Cafe. 

See you on FOH zoom a little later today

Soooo.... when you have plantations, make banana bread?

Should add that to the Daily Quotes thread.

The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men

          Gang aft agley
 

But offhand plots o’ Gods an’ Sods

           Wilst stay in play

Hope scans will show nothing serious and Tom will get well soon. 

Best.
