Ellie's walk to school included Grandpa acting as a Sherpa and carrying her model of the Titanic. She had done an excellent job on it, with guidance from Nana. I look forward to hearing the feedback at some point.
Back home Diane and I got our gear together and headed for Angmering. Diane had Pilates and I was going on to football. She has been taking some new tablets to reduce the discomfort from her knee. She has taken them for a couple of weeks and now feels they are helping, so Pilates was a good test.
We had a 5-a-side game with teams picked by Jack. The sides seemed even and in the end, they proved to be, but not without some drama. I scored the first 2 goals for the yellow team. We then got another. Jack, in orange, was getting very cross and barking his orders at his team (without following them himself). We scored again. Jack threw his toys out of the metaphorical pram, stormed off in disgust, and went home. The orange team immediately scored! At halftime, we tried to rebalance the teams (as it was now 5-v-4). Yellows became the team of 4 having swapped a player to the oranges. We scored again (assist from me). Then the oranges started to claw things back until orange Fred sprained his ankle and had to leave the pitch. The game finished 4-v-4 and the final score was 5-5. There are times when it's a bit like Kindergarten.
I collected Diane from Pilates and we headed home. We had a couple of hours in the orange, making the most of the sunshine. As the sun dropped, we headed for our respective studies to get on with our current projects.
