Hockey, Walking and working

Actually played hockey this weekend - somehow our schedules fitted to allow me to play an away game in Milton Keynes. I sort of enjoyed it but I was certainly not of my usual touch in front of goal - had a couple of half chances I'd have expected to have done better than I did with. We drew 1-1 in the end. I was planning to pop in to Wolverton on the way back to have a look at a Watts MBE that is buried in the church there and the Wolverton Working Men's Club as apparently there was many years ago a picture hanging up of him. Fortunately, some people wanted a lift back so I had some company instead for the hour long trip back.

I mentioned the Worthing tour I'm organising and was rather surprised to hear that almost nobody had heard of it as particularly the younger players have never read or heard of the hockey forum. Maybe my subsidy of almost £200 a year is pointless!! Anyway, they know about it now. I'll have to do some flyers for the club supper / dinner dance.

I cannot tell you any more about the Newland Park project - as I seem to have been ex communicated by the new hierachy that have commandeered it. Fair enough I suppose means I don't have to do anything. It is stunning how the University have behaved though - probably best all I say.

Went for a really nice walk on Sunday - just after the rain had fallen around the NSE - R & J loved walking through the puddles and jumping in them - their feet were soaking despite sarah's best efforts to make them waterproof. As I was walking round I was thinking what a great place to put a double astro and club house to compliment the existing facilities there!!

Saturday night me Charlie, Chris and Scott went out for a Chinese and a few drinks in Wycombe (I was driving so lemonade for me!). It was a very enjoyable night out - though getting back at 1.30 I was pretty knackered.

The rest of the weekend was spent working as I have won 3 new web site contracts and masses of work from existing customers - which is good. I'm trying not to over do it though so I avoid getting my Arthritis back again.
