A cracking day. This morning I did a 4 mile wander around the Durham Woods and spotted the first Goosander of the Autumn on the River Wear which is a sure sign that colder weather is coming. Fiddled around with a song to sort the mix  out and knocked up a smashing Persian Rice for the family . Mustn't let the standard slip or they'll boot me out . This evening with the Fantabulous  Fiona we went to Durham Cathedral to listen to The Sixteen a  wonderful Choral group. One of the best . I vowed I'll improve my singing .  The seats we had in the North Transept were perfect and the sound quality was excellent . Expresso  and Hot Chocolate followed in our favourite romantic cafe and we had a good laugh there . Romance for us is having a good laugh. World Cup Rugby coming up this weekend and what more could a man want!
