Some things you have to keep to yourself.

So, I unblocked the sewer.  Not a pretty sight, but what did you expect?  It was at a property that my wife rent's out, and when I returned home, a lovely meal was waiting for me but not a word was spoken about 'the deed'.  It was the elephant in the room, the unspoken obvious fact that something was completed successfully but not a word should be uttered in case the awful truth came out.  So I have to keep it to myself and at least I have the self satisfied smugness that goes with a 'job well done'. 

Anyway, early 7 mile run this morning in the sunshine.  Well, partial sunshine anyway.  We have had a brief few days of lovely weather for May, but it's on the wane now so our 4 days away in the caravan will not be as stiflingly hot as it would have been this weekend so I'm not complaining too much.  Thank goodness we live in a temperate climate.

It's that bastion of talent on Saturday evening - the Eurovision Song Contest.  Actually, it's a bit more than Europe, including as it does Australia, Israel and Turkey.  I'm not sure myself what constitutes Europe nowadays - Turkey has always been a bit EuroAsian if I remember from school.  Anyway, it promises to be a night of fun and laughter as always, and I hope the UK entry - Jake and Joe (or similar) give us something to cheer about as we approach the EU referendum vote.
