I've just posted a video of last night's penalties to Manchester United's Facebook page. In case they missed it.

But rather than talk about football, let us have a look at the picture which of course refers to a claim by a UKIP politician that the recent floods are due to the anger of God and recent legislation which was brought about to make life more fair for those who love other adults of the same sex.  I have to thank one of my friends who directed me to this a few months ago.  As you may be able to gather, I have nothing against people who are homosexual, or those who think that homosexuality is wrongI just think that those who come up with insane comments to justify homophobia are bonkers.

Anyway, I had a great weekend with the kids.  My son was too unwell to play rugby on Sunday, but was well enough to visit London beforehand were they got to watch Wind in the Willows, visit the South Bank and also have a quick trip to the British Museum.  I have had the week off and have managed to get a few things that needed to be done finished but I do have a few more things to sort out.  It has been great taking the kids to school and picking them up as well as being able to spend more time with them once they are home.  As I have stated many a time, they do grown up so quickly and any time spent with them has to be treasured.

Of course, not all has gone as well as I would like.  My son was unwell today, and on Monday, I woke to find that the heating was not working.  To be accurate, it appeared to be the fuse box at first, but working through the circuits showed that it was our heating.  On the coldest two days of the week.  Luckily, my wife was able to get a telephone number of a good electrician from one of the other mothers in the playground who was able to discuss with the plumber what the problem probably was who was able to order the necessary part and we had our heating back on Tuesday.  But we were very lucky in that we did not have the cold weather that had been present in the USA recently as well as being fortunate that people were willing to lend us some electric radiators.  Anyway, the house is warm, I am tired and I am now to go to sleep.  Night all!
