It has been a long day. We woke up for our taxi trip to the hotel at 0400, well, most of us did. Despite being told to get to sleep, my son tried to stay up and fell asleep, but, when we got up at 0330, fell back to sleep again. This has meant that he had left a few things back at home. I slept on the drive to the airport and on the plane, my son managing to stay awake during a lot of the flight, but it was sweet when he fell asleep on me.
In fact, the photo was taken by him on the flight. It is great to be back at the hotel, and while the kids had bickered before getting here about sharing a room, they appear to be fine about it now.
We have had dinner, which was our first proper meal of the day as we missed lunch when we came here, and the airport breakfast was not as good as I had wanted.
I did get to watch the highlights of the Arsenal game. I do have to agree with the pundits, no disrespect to Nottingham Forest, but we would have been punished if we had played a top six side. Saying that, we did score two amazing goals and I am hoping that we can match or beat our previous league standing. But it will be much harder to do that this season. And remember, we could be Spurs!
Anyway, the bed is calling me…
