It was another super day. Temperatures were forecast around 30C. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. This is what summer should always be like (with overnight rain to keep the gardens watered and healthy).
The Gorse Fox pottered across to Worthing to meet up with the lads for a game of football. There were only 12-13 players today. This made it much more open and though the teams seemed a bit lop-sided, to begin with, it was actually quite close. The game started off at a very slow pace - probably because of the weather. It did, however, pick up as people got used to the heat. At half-time, it was 3-3, but they decided to swap goalkeepers. With Gary, the Powerhouse, out on the pitch, we expected a torrid time. It didn't work out like that. We started to stretch them with our passing and before long we had taken the lead. We conceded, then scored again. The Gorse Fox ventured across the halfway line and with some deft footwork on the edge of the penalty area he smacked the ball into the net. The final score was a 6-5 victory for us.
Urban-cub dropped Ellie off at lunchtime. She will be with us overnight tonight. It was patently clear that Ellie had been in full devil-mode and Urban-cub was struggling to stay calm. She's been pretty quiet most of the afternoon and is now winding herself up into a frenzy ready for bed.
