Why is that there are times in your life when someone close to you, who up to that point in time you had totally trusted, turns against you.  Even though its clear that he or she has been influenced by someone else, someone who is clearly jealous of your freindship, their actions still cut deeply into you.  I know that we cannot always be perfect and I know  life does not stand still, but .......

It's nearly three months since I last blogged so it's time I caught up.  Since I last wrote Wiggo has won leTour and now Chris Froome is having a serious go at the Vuelta.

Mrs M and I had a good day at Wimbledon, we had Centre Court tickets, and since then we have been up to London to watch the Olympic Road Time Trial and a session in the Velodrome.  We've also collected our Paralympic Games Maker uniforms ready for the far more important Paralympics.  Wasn't that a super play about Poppa, pity it wasn't the full two hours.  Just shows how things have changed since the 1940's.  Mind you we still get people not knowing how to cope with Mrs M, after all surely a broken back is contagious!



Not a good start by Argyle, surely it must get better.

Our very nice neighbour Mer' died recently of the Big C.  Why is it always the nice one's that depart leaving the nasty ones behind. Mer' was very special because he asked for nothing of anybody, nor did he impose.  Perhaps it's something to do with surviving a North Korean POW camp.
