Mr. Osc got a text from SIL last night asking would he be interested in playing at the Old Head course in Kinsale, one of the top courses in the world, very exclusive and pretty spectacular - apparently it's a golf outing from some big company where SIL has friends and the green fees will be cheaper than they normally would be (which would be very expensive). The golf is on 26th April, which is two days before my op, so I said why not, life is short and he may as well grab the opportunity to play somewhere so special when it comes along. But in fact, Miss Osc and SIL are suggesting that we all go, Michael too, make a weekend of it, it seems there are reduced rates at various b&bs in the area, and they thought it would be a nice treat before I go into hospital on the 28th. That's so thoughtful, because I know if I was at home that weekend, I would just be thinking and worrying and trying not to panic! It's just so nice to think first of all that SIL likes to invite Mr. Osc to play golf and then that they both thought up this lovely idea. We have something every weekend in April, I will arrive in the hospital in need of the sleep, anaesthatised or not
