Ellie was awake early - but Jasper had already disturbed the Gorse Fox so he pottered in to her room and brought her back to bed with us... where she stayed happily for about and hour or so. It was approaching eight before we all got up, in the end.
The Gorse Fox had his usual football game. It was a 6-v-5 affair. The plan was that the the team with the two most mobile players would have 5, and the the team with the other mobile player (the Gorse Fox) would have 6. Surprisingly it worked out pretty every and by half time the score was an even 2-2. In the second half, however, we started to pull away. The Gorse Fox had a couple of good shots saved, and also hit the post. (His last post for a few weeks). Eventually the pressure made the difference, the Gorse Fox scored and we started to pull away for an eventual 9-4 win. Very enjoyable, particularly as he won't be playing again for about three weeks or so.
Back home, the Silver Vixen had taken Cousteau-Cub and Ellie back to LA and was pottering around tidying up when the Gorse Fox arrived. We grabbed some lunch then had a quiet hour in the Orangery before getting ready for the evening's events. Along with the Sonning Crew we are going to Southampton to have a meal and to see Bill Bailey's "Larks in Transit" at the Mayflower Theatre. Two hats is driving so we can just sit and enjoy the view.
