No goal

Lovely day again today. Temps in the mid 20s.

The Silver Vixen had her Pilates this morning and collected Ellie from the child minder on her way back through.

The Gorse Fox had football. There was a bit of a delay starting due to a group of lads swearing blind they had the pitch booked until 1100. They may have done, but they had the wrong pitch! We got started. The Gorse Fox was playing for the yellow bibs. It was very close today. AT half-time we had fought a 3-3 stalemate. The ref was being a little more rigid with the rules than he usually is. This curtailed some of the more expansive play. The second half kicked off and we all continued where we had left off. In the end there was just the single goal in it - our yellow-bibs had won the day 6-5. The Gorse Fox failed to score today, but did hit the crossbar twice ( and missed an open goal on one his few forays up the pitch).

Back home we were on duty. Ellie was here and we double-teamed her. As each of us had something to do, the other would take control, and vice versa. It seems to work well. What it doesn't really afford is time for big things like working on the window-seat. Progress will have to wait a few days.

As we now have Ellie in a couple of weeks, the Gorse Fox popped down to the pub to cancel our booking and order for their monthly steak-night. Well, it was an excuse for pint
