Cover up

It wasn't quite so cold overnight but even still, the Gorse Fox decided he would be wearing his tracksuit at football.

We were all up and about early. The Silver Vixen had to get off to her workshop in Angmering and the Gorse Fox had arranged to drop Cousteau-Cub at Urban-Cub's  on the way through to football. Jasper was left at home to take messages and guard the place. Being National Cat day, he just went up and curled himself at the bottom of the bed.

The Gorse Fox dropped Cousteau-Cub and waited to check that all was ok. Ellie came out and wanted a quick cuddle with Grandpa before he headed off. We had a good turnout at football and managed to field four teams of seven. The Gorse Fox played for the orange bibs. We had a fairly good team and managed to draw one, lose one, and win one. In fact the game we won was a thumping win over a team that, on paper, should really have beaten us - fortunately we were playing on grass not paper!

In the second hour we were down to two teams of six. Again the Gorse Fox was playing in orange and again we managed to do better than you would expect looking at the teams. In the second hour we won two games and drew one. The Gorse Fox didn't score any goals today but had several good shots saved. He did, however, play a very good game at centre back and made several interceptions and saves of his own.
