Surprise result

It was a bit cooler this morning, but still pleasant enough. Cousteau-Cub stayed home and submitted some more job applications and the Silver Vixen headed off for Pilates.

The Gorse Fox went to football. We had a decent turnout and played 7-a-side. He was a bit concerned when he saw how the teams had been picked. He commented to a team mate that it "looks like we'll be creamed" and there was a nod of agreement. Three of us played across the back to try and stop the onslaught and we held pretty firm. Our forwards meanwhile had started to pass the ball around nicely and started to get the odd goal. By half time we were 6-2 ahead but were under no illusions that the second half would be a different matter. It was. We scored 6 more goals without reply. Two of these from the Gorse Fox. The most satisfying of these was a bit of a breakaway and as their defender closed in one shouted "go on then, have a shot" so he did and the ball ricocheted off said defender back to the Gorse Fox and he, in turn, hammered it into the goal with his left foot. As he turned, the Gorse Fox was heard to mutter "what, like that?".

This afternoon the Silver Vixen and Cousteau-Cub have gone shopping. The Gorse Fox is pottering around at home and has just prepared some chicken things for slow oven bake. We'll have those with some pasta in a couple of hours time.

The Gorse Fox knows its a "first world problem" but getting the right collection of charging cables, sync cables, adapters, and power supplies ready for a trip is becoming quite a faff. He's done a checklist (obviously) and has been seeking out all of the correct bits of cable and where necessary ordering new ones from the nice man at Amazon.
