Back and Forth

Zoe had a day off. This meant there was no need for Ellie to be dropped off, so we had a brief lie-in. We couldn't laze around for too long as I still had to escort Ellie and Zoe to the school.

Back home, I changed into my football gear and Diane was already wrapped in her Pilates kit. We headed off towards Angmering. The roads were lovely and clear and we whizzed across in no time. I dropped Diane and then went on to Worthing for the football.

The game started as a 6-v-5. I was on the yellow team with just 5 players. We had no recognised goalkeepers on the pitch, so I played in goal for the first half. It was a good game, and we were 3-2 ahead at the halftime whistle. Ross, one of the orange team, had to drop out because he was having some trouble with his asthma. This evened up the sides. I played on the pitch for the second half. In the end, we won with a convincing 5-3 scoreline. (No goals from me today).

I headed back to Angmering and collected Diane. We drove home and as we started to unload the car she asked "Where's my coat?". Oops, it had been left behind at the Community Centre. I showered, changed, and we headed back to Angmering. The coat was retrieved and all was well.

We had a quiet afternoon, though Di went to collect Ellie and take her home, where Zoe was still with the hairdresser.

I've just had a call from Ellie. "Grandpa, someone is trying to spook me and Maddie," I asked a couple of questions to check that this was not some online contact. It wasn't. She continued "I have lots of evidence written down on two sheets of paper," I told her that was good and that she should show me in the morning. She responded, "I must go now, I will continue to investigate."

I look forward to her apprehending the miscreant.
