Girls

It was a bit wet overnight and the weather dumped a load of Saharan sand on the cars and the Orangery. More rain is forecast for later so hopefully it will clear it off!

The Silver Vixen had her usual Pilates session this morning while the Gorse Fox headed off to play football. Just as he arrived at the sports centre, the heavens opened for an almighty cloudburst. It only lasted 5 minutes but he was glad that he was in car and not on the pitch at the time.

The game was a manageable 7-v-8. The Gorse Fox played for the Orange bibs on the 7-team. He expected it to be a hard game, but in the end our team passed the ball about a lot better than the yellows and we started to score the odd goal. (The Gorse Fox did manage to add another to his tally for the year).

The second half started to get a little silly as people tired and got fractious, but it never got out of hand. It's clear that Krakatoa Jack doesn't like being dispossessed though, as every time he was he claimed some form of infringement or foul. Fortunately, the ref was having nothing to do with it. We ended up winning 6-4, so were happy with the result.

Back home, showered, and fed we took the opportunity to put our feet up for an hour before we had to go back to LA and pick up Cousteau-Cub and Ellie. They are back with us overnight to give Urban-Cub a bit of a break before she returns to work on Friday.
