First England game

The weekend saw the first England game of the World Cup 2006. It was all a bit of an anti climax really - there was an own goal in the first three minutes and we were late down to the Sports Club so missed it - then the projector broke and we couldn't really see much for the first half anyway! Sarah James and Rebecca joined me for the second half when the picture was a bit better but the play was awful and boring! Reminded me of Portugal where we scored early on then tried to just sit back and defend the game and lost - fortunately Paraguay weren't quite as good as Portugal.

I had a manic week last week with work - back to working from 8am to 10.30pm with a break for tea and to put Rebecca and James to bed. This week looks to tbe the same. In Ireland on Thursday with a client evaulating a business system and how it integrates with Ecommerce seamlessly - so will 'miss' the England game - though will watch it on interactive I guess. Flight leaves at 6am from luton and it lands back at 7pm in the evening (Obviously we land and take off from Dublin in between lol).

Also went round to Sarah's sister yesterday - always great fun round there - it was crispins birthday. Rebecca loves being with Olivia and William - she especially enjoyed the chocolate cake. After spending a weekend with the family I never want to go back to work on a Monday :-(

Still not able to play hockey - been doing my exercises for my achilles but still very sore - only 12 weeks now since I played! Knees were rumbling a bit last week too which was a bit more of a concern as I thought these drugs had completely changed all that problem and practically eliminated that. No news on the house really either at the moment. Still haven't sold the Corrado either. Did I blog about a Policy and Finance committee meeting I attended last Monday?
