1-0 to the Arsenal


And it is another win for the Arsenal.  

But before I post about that, a quick update on the children.  My son went paintballing on Saturday and had fun.  He had promised me before that he would dress up in a warm manner, but was not happy when my wife told him to change out of his very smart clothes when he went as it was quite muddy.  When he did change, he had decided to ignore what I had said about keeping warm.

After he had been dropped of by my wife, we travelled down to see my Mother.  Needless to say, with COVID19 due to hit the nation, I am concerned about this.  The parents of my wife are to return to the UK despite what we have said about this when they could be in a warmer climate which means that they would be at less risk of this.  

My mother was glad to see my daughter, my wife and I, but was a bit sad that she did not get to see my son.  But she has been convinced to leave the country for a few months, an option that is not available to all.  She will be in warmer climes and hopefully this will offer her some protection.  On the way home, we tried to pop into Costo, but was not able to get in due to the queue of cars.  We could have waited, but would have been stuck there for a while and would have had to fight for a parking space.  

Today, my son went out for a meal with friends and while he was having fun with them, by wife and I had a civilised meal around the corner.  Spending time with her is always a pleasure, but to do so without children (my daughter was at home doing her homework and watching television) is even better.  I do love the children, but one on one time with my wife is becoming too rare.

Anyway, Arsenal won.  We could and should have played better but a win is a win.  And the scum did not win.  I would have preferred it if they had lost, but I should not be greedy!
