It's all go this week. Out and about 3 days in a row! I'm getting withdrawl symptoms from missing the library! Well, at least I have library books out on loan!
Today, I headed off to see the Singapore Masters European Tour golf tournament. Since my homage to The Onion doesn't seem to have gone down too well, I have reverted to straight reporting for this event!
It was being held at a golf course not that far away from where I live. The nearest train station to the course is the Singapore Expo station. While looking for the courtesy bus to the golf, I happened across a book fair being held in one of the massive (and I mean massive!) expo halls. If you've been reading this blog at all, then you'll know that was like a moth to the flame! It wasn't very good though, so I didn't dally. I eventually found the bus and got to the course, whereupon I immediately bumped into (almost literally!) Constantina Rocca, who almost won the British Open in 1995.
The course is a pretty nice one. The picture shows the view back up the ninth (as far as I remember!) fairway from the green. It was very hot and humid (surprise, surprise!) so I sat in the shade and made out a plan for the afternoon. There weren't that many well known golfers playing, but I decided to see as many as them as I could. I hung around the first and 10th tees for an hour watching them tee off, until the first (and best placed) Irish man was due. The plan was then to follow him (or one of the other 2 Irish guys soon after him) for 9 holes (if I could stick the heat!) and then call it a day.
More anon!

Golfer or Geek?
Putting things on the blog like having library withdrawl symptoms are not doing much for your street cred. In fact, it is tres geeky!

It may be opportune to revert to "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" at this juncture and revise on 'been' and 'being'. Perhaps without the speed reading tactics!
Glad you're having fun these days.
Relax, it was just part of my running joke on books, Tiger D!
Besides, I'm not much of a golfer, but at least I make a good geek!
Thanks Ms/Mr Truss!
That's what you get when you speed write!
You should see some of the boo-boos I manage to catch myself before publishing!
I don't recall that BEING in the book, and seeing how it's a book on punctuation, and not brutal grammar, I don't see why it should be! That's not to say it's not in it, as I don't remember everything I read, regardless of the reading pace!
