Jamie was delighted recently when he had his first wobbly tooth as most of his classmates have already lost one. So today was the day it finally dropped out – not in the middle of an apple but whilst raking some leaves up. He was absolutely delighted – I just hope the tooth fairy remembers tonight – unlike the last tooth Rebecca lost – naughty tooth fairy probably too much wine ….
Another eventful weekend as usual. Too much hockey and unfortunately both of us were playing away – Rebecca did mutter about spending more time with us on a Saturday d’oh. I was called up to the 1’s (yes they were desperate before you get there first) and joined Sarah in Abingdon. Unfortunately I pulled my hamstring in the first 10 minutes – absolutely gutted as I thought I was doing ok. So stood around in the oppositions half not moving – though still managed to score a goal standing on one leg much to my amusement. It was so bad by the fifth goal I had an arrangement with their defence to not even bother walking back to the halfway line and just stayed in their 25. Still we won 5-3. The 2’s also won which brought a massive smile to my and Dave’s faces – he was also called up to the 1’s at the last minute. The team spirit and atmosphere in the 2’s is one of the best i’ve ever know – its absolutely brilliant being a part of it – the closest I can think of was the old 1st XI Chalfont St Peter days when we were promoted and Neil Turner was Captain.
Last game before the Christmas break next Saturday – the 2’s have a massive trek over to Newbury – but I’m visiting the physio tomorrow to see how bad my leg is and whether i’ll be able to stand on the pitch by the game – been icing it all weekend. We have a special guest star appearance or two and it is followed by the Christmas social / party – really excited by it as the team / squad have worked so hard it should be a really good laugh.
Work has been flat out as usual – loads of meetings which cuts down the actual time to do the work I say i’ll do. Things have been hampered by the fact I’ve had a cold almost got over it and think I then caught another – so that’s been going on for two weeks now. Ran out of drugs in the house today which was quite an achievement. Cater For You was about 30% ahead of last November which was a great effort by the team. Also uploaded the dedicated CSE Cables actinic ecommerce web site too on Friday. Making good progress on the new Waggon and Horses web site – hopefully have another session with Simon this week and then start promoting properly – its a really interesting project as something slightly different from the normal and built in WordPress – hopefully made it secure and won’t be hacked like this one was …. yikes.
Listening to some great music at the moment as well – bought a load of stuff from banquet records recently and have another batch coming from Amazon this week. Will post a dedicated music blog later this week hopefully.
After Junior hockey session first thing this morning and then after cooking the pork fillet for lunch, finally got out into the garden to do some clearing up. Still lots to do but we cleared the leaves and I put some Autumn lawn weed and feed down – probably won’t work as too late now! Also repaired a load of Badger holes – first time in ages they’ve been – looking for grubs under the turf. Found quite a few caterpillars sleeping under the leaves. Will have to do some more tidying up next weekend assuming we feel o.k. after the Saturday night social.
