Just heard that Annika Sörenstam should end her outstanding Golf career.
"I have heard this before"….déjà-vu-moment 🤔
Didn't she ended her career some years ago? Yeees she did.
Then I recalled, she did quit but decided to participate in some 'small' tournaments again.
So obviously she got it rolling again and won U.S. Senior Women's Open 2021
Now she's retiring again. What a golfer!

Relaxed errands in the city: Returned several books to the library earlier (on Friday), bought a new watch strap and a new battery for my watch, got a haircut. Collected a few medical bits and pieces from the pharmacy.
Yes, cheeses, and French bread (in the French bakery) were also purchased.
As were some slices of baked ham, a few slices of Porchetta, and a few slices of Parma ham.
This is because with the exception of guanciale, I haven't had meat for weeks - actually, months, - and I realised this week that I found myself craving meat. And it was wonderful, on soft, white, French bread. They were out of baguette, so brioche it was, instead.
When I start fantasising about steak - which I eat rarely - and burgers, and worse, browsing online recipes steak and burgers - food I hardly ever eat - it is high time to address this deficiency.

Did it fight back? The last time I took to a tree for substantial pruning (i.e. down to the ground) it defended itself vigorously, resuling in the application of much iodine and many band-aids.
It’s an ongoing battle for many months. It’s less than half the size it was. But as it has a gas pipe running under part of it, and half goes under the concrete base the gas tank sits on, my options are limited.
Well, my old keyboard just happened to totally break on me during a rehearsal yesterday, and the new one, according to the Guitar Center rep I spoke to today, is backordered, and he said it'll be at least another week till it even ships, so I likely won't have it for another two weeks, which is fine by me, except that my current one broke. Luckily, someone was kind enough to lend me one of theirs for the time being, so that I can still play all my gigs next week (of which I have several).
One day indeed. Took an hour and a half for me to upload a 7 GB video to Google Drive...
Timing is everything, isn't it?
In any case, it is a good thing that the new keyboard is on its way, and is no longer something you might have considered a luxury, or optional, purchase, but has now become a very necessary (and rather overdue) one.
Good luck with your gigs.
Ok, and you joined MacRumors to say that? 😂
For what I know it could've been vitamins as well. They are also injectable.
I've met a lot of athletes in my life. I wouldn't walk around and judge people with such little information that you revealed. I am sure that the anti-doping movement have a busy work in all kinds of sports today. But it's their job, not mine.
What I hear is that you might be unhappy for the lack of success you didn't got, and found a reason to leave Golf altogether.
But I might be wrong, I have no idea who you are or what you are doing here.
Gosh, yes.
Well spotted.
One post to discuss........the injection of testosterone in the golfing community.
Words almost fail me.
Wonderful reply.
The weather. Glorious sunshine all day. Then we had thunderstorms. The much needed rain came down in bucket falls. Even had some hail.
Just light rain now. At least the water butt will be full again.
Also get the night off watering which is an added bonus.

Thunder threatening, and it is cloudy and increasingly dark here, close and humid and heavy. I daresay that we shall experience thunder presently; the barometer has fallen a little the heights of the past fortnight.
Yesterday, when it was spitting rain for a short while in the afternoon, I felt almost offended.
A night of watering was very welcome. Might have made the ground soft enough to weed tomorrow.
Sitting out here on my deck enjoying the delightful weather we are having! It is just the right temperature, neither hot or chilly, with a very pleasant breeze wafting past every now and then.... LOW humidity, which makes a huge difference, too. The air quality is back to normal after the past couple of days of experiencing to a milder extent what NYC and other areas were having.
Having done some things around the house and also reorganized some things on two computers and a couple of external drives, what is on my mind right now is contented satisfaction at having gotten these tasks out of the way.

Low humidity. I wish. Quite close here this evening.
Well, that went surprisingly well.
Son bought his mother an Ikea bedside drawer unit for her birthday.
Guess who got to put it together? The son with the degree in engineering, maths and physics? Or the father with the degree in marine biology?
Anyway, the only parts left over were four wooden plugs (two large and two small) and half a bag of brads.
I found out about the spare wooden plugs after one had dropped out of my hand and disappeared under the couch. After moving the couch, retrieving the wayward plug, somebody said "There's some spares here...".

On the rare occasion an Ikea box enters our house my wife takes charge. I do not have the appropriate patience levels for such projects.
We have about 8 ikea units in Mrs AFB craft room and my office. I could put them together with a blindfold on. Very easy.
We put 10 of the classic Billy shelves together for my office. Worked a treat. Building ikea furniture is a bout as complex as putting together a Lego set. Compared to other cheap furniture brands ikea always wins on instructions and packaging.
Agreed. We have other stuff that was much worse.
As a Swede I had IKEA products since as long as I can recall. Ivar has been one of my first choice, and new things just keeps coming to the system. Love it!
