Parking

 It was very grey to start with today. Rain was forecast, but not until late morning.

As mentioned yesterday, the Gorse Fox was back playing indoor football this morning. Clearly, the opening of the centre had created a lot of interest. Five youth games kicked off at 10:00 on the outdoor pitches. This was all very fine, but it did make parking and absolute nightmare. The Gorse Fox did manage to find a spot nea a shipping container in an area that is usually blocked off.

We had a god 5-v-5 game. The sides were pretty well balanced, but in the end the yellow team triumphed 7-5(or 8-6). The Gorse Fox (on the Orange team) was pleased to score a couple of goals in our haul. He was also pleased to get a good workout. It was the first time that he broken a proper sweat for months. Why? We ditched the 3-touch rule and just got on with the game. This, quite literally, doubled the amount of exercise crammed into the hour (according to his Apple Watch).

By the time he left to head home, the rain had started and was making up for lost time. Many of the roads were partly flooded where the drains were blocked or could keep up. It only lasted for about and hour, then dried up and left us with the odd burst of sunshine.
