Double up

 There had been some rain in the night but by the time the Gorse Fox got up, the sky was clear and the paving was dry. Ellie was first to wake and join the Gorse Fox downstairs. She started the day with fruit juice, toast with ham, and and the Paw Patrol cartoons(*).

As the Gorse Fox was playing football today, he took Ellie to the child-minder on the way. There were a few tears at first but the Gorse Fox pulled himself together and we had a very quick ride across to LA. From there he moved on to Worthing and the Leisure Centre. He was chosen for the Light Shirts (1) team and, though we fought hard, we only drew the first game. We lost the next two games badly. From his point of view, it was a success as he's got the distance covered up to something semi respectable. He decided that he would stay on for the second hour.

The second hour was not walking football. It was, quite specifically, running football. He was concerned that after an hour of playing he would be too tired to give it a go. Despite his fears he played. Again we lost. Not badly, but we did lose. In the end the Gorse Fox had run over 8 km and was still feeling moderately human. Things are looking up.

It was a quiet afternoon with the Silver Vixen working on the Advent project, and Urban-Cub working on her CV. Late afternoon we went across to LA to collect Ellie. 

Supper done, we can now settle down for a quiet evening.

(*) The Gorse Fox is still worried about Paw Patrol. Where does Ryder get the money to create all of these vehicles? Where did the puppies learn to talk? Why does Adventure Bay rely on a kid and his menagerie for its security and rescue services? The public want to know!
