Afternoon all.
So, News Years Eve went well. Had some friends round, my wife had made a great meal and alcohol was used for the celebration of the end of one year and the begining of another. In fact, last night we were invited to a meal elsewhere as well, again, good food and for me, beer. And unlike New Years Day, I am in a fitter state having only drunk a little bit. It has been good to have time with the kids as well, a shame that I have had to leave them to go to work, but at times, with the way they drive me mad, a good thing as well. My Mum has been up this weekend and got to spend time with the kids as well, she has left now and is recovering from being with them for so long!
Today, my son went back to play rugby. Me, I prefer football and I am in a good mood over the result yesterday against the Scum. My daughter did watch bits with me, my son was not interested at all. I was worried before the game, form favouring the opposition, but in the end, I did not need to be too concerned. The attacking threat that was posed was, for most of the time cut out. There was an interesting battle in midfield with quite a few niggling fouls being committed against Jack Wilshere, and while this did seem to keep him quiet and reduce his influence on the game, the rest of the team were able to make up for this. Two great goals were scored and other than yet another injury, a good day. When when I get back to work, I will have a big smile on my face!
