Leaps and bounds

The Silver Vixen has taken a giant step forward today. Not only did she go to Pilates, but she also drove there. So she is now returning to her normal range of activities, albeit gently, and carefully. The Gorse Fox took over once we had arrived at Pilates, and carried on to his football.

Football had a busy 9-v-8 format today. The Gorse Fox felt a bit like Horatio defending the bridge during the first half. Our defence was only breached once, despite the other team's superior numbers, mobility, and attacking players. We also managed to pull one back so that we went in 1-1 at half-time. During the second half, we had the extra player. This began to make a difference as we managed to score 4 more goals (one from the Gorse Fox) and they could only reply with one. All in all, it was a very satisfying game, if somewhat one-sided in the end.

The Gorse Fox collected the Silver Vixen on the way through. He remained in the driving seat as there was no point in her over-doing it after the Pilates.

It's been a quiet afternoon. The Gorse Fox has booked a restaurant for tomorrow evening and has prepared a beef casserole in the Instant Pot for tonight. He's also been looking at the family tree while the casserole has been bubbling away.
