The Farmer has been busy…

I wonder where the Farmer goes for a holiday.

Chatting with a work colleague who was literally busting about his upcoming trip to Cornwall next week. He had just booked in to a luxury hotel with its own golf course, a few days of golf and pampering. He apparently hadn’t played golf in years. Seemed odd as I had thought that he had mentioned golf in Scotland a few months back.

Silly me mentioned that to him and the normally ultra talkative colleague was unusually silent. Silence eventually broken by a sharp intake of breath and the timeless herald of one of those monumental life mess-ups, summed up perfectly in one simple but effective word …. “BO##@@@S”………

Turns out that the poor chap had a few months back already booked a similar golfing package in Scotland for the week ahead AND HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN about it….

At least he saw the humour ….

“Like pigging buses, you wait for ages and then two come at the same time…..”

I wondered which one he would cancel….. turns out kinda neither …..

Three days golfing in Cornwall (rather than 6), an overnight drive (9 hours), then two final days golfing in Scotland. Well that was PLAN C. Today he went down with COVID, so I guess it’s PLAN D for next week now.

I wonder what simple and effective word he will be using right now to describe golf, next week.
