Just out of bed, still have back spasm. but promised Hannah Murray I'd be there for 3 to 3.30. Not looking forward to the car journey, but it's got to be done. On top of everything my Honda CRV is in for service and I have to take my wife's Honda Jazz, which is much smaller. Ho hum...such is life.

Out to dinner tonight with Number One Son, back permitting.

No golf this weekend due to my back. So I shall concentrate on my book The Saturday Oath........there's always a silver lining.

Just watched Theresa May defending the urgent deployment of 3500 TA soldiers as G4S have admitted they don't have enough personnel for the Olympic security set up. Great time to tell her, just two weeks to the off. I would make G4S pay for all the expenses of the extra cost of the 3500 troops, plus some sort of additional penalty.

I just pray that the Olympics goes off well. So many people have put so much hard work and effort into it.
