Tapping up

Very cold overnight again, but it soon started to warm up.

While making breakfast this morning The Gorse Fox also took the time to make up some soup. We have a Tefal soup maker and have been very pleased with its performance. As the Silver Vixen was out for the day at her coven, the Gorse Fox made up some soup for her to take in a flask. Butternut squash, sweet potato, red pepper, orange pepper, carrot, onion, vegetable stock, tomato and tomato puree. It turned out to be quite delicious.

The Gorse Fox went off to football. In the first hour he played for the yellow-bibs. Not too bad. Lost the first game 3-2 then won the next two games 1-0 and 5-1. A good first hour. It was between games that Gorse Fox was tapped-up (in the footballing parlance). He was approached by a chap who is currently waiting to hear if he's selected for the England national team. He asked if the Gorse Fox would join his team for the National championships. The Gorse Fox said he would give it some thought. Then at the end of the next game he was approached by a second person asking him if he would join their team for the National championships. Very flattering.

I the second hour we shuffled the pack and the Gorse Fox played for the red-bibs. We drew the first game then won 4-1 and 2-0. The Gorse Fox was pleased to grab a couple more goals by drifting in from the back into open space and just passing the ball into the net.
