One Session

Tuesday has turned into a lovely day. It was a bit grey at first, but has brightened up beautifully. The Silver Vixen had a plan for her morning, and the Gorse Fox had some football to play.

The Silver Vixen headed across to spend the morning in Haskins while the Gorse Fox headed for Worthing Leisure Centre. It seemed like ages since he had played and he was really looking forward to the banter and the creaking of elderly joints as we wove our magic across the artificial turf.

The Gorse Fox was playing for the yellow-bibs today. Not a strong team, but adequate. We kicked off and wisthin a couple of moments we were 1-0 ahead. We had to defend quite doggedly, but managed a 3-2 win in the end. The second game was less successful with a 2-1 loss. The final game of the session was also a 2-1 loss - but having said that the Gorse Fox provided the assist for our goal and also managed to score one. The ref, however, said he had been fouled and as the goal was scored from within the area (not allowed) he brought play back for a free kick. The Gorse Fox knew this was not correct but didn't argue. Discussion with the opposition goalie, however, confirmed that the Gorse Fox was well outside the area when he scored so it should have been allowed. Never mind.

The second hour was less successful inasmuch as there were insufficient numbers to hold the session. Yet again his second hour of football was missed.

During the afternoon we popped in to see Two Hats and Tinkerbell to thank them for looking after the house while we were away. It's always nice to sit and chat for a bit and catch up on all the news.

While the Gorse Fox writes this he has a curry bubbling away on the hob. The plan for tonight is a fish and prawn curry, but there's still a good 45 minutes to go before it is ready.
