Billy woke me up at 6am on the day of my birthday, offered me coffee, then fell asleep again leaving me awake and thirsty. Half an hour later I got my coffee, with a promise of a cooked breakfast shortly. Then he fell asleep again. So I went downstairs for some cereal to keep me [...]

Wednesday was a busy day, being the day Mum arrived and the day before my birthday. I spent the morning doing the housework and jobs, making a shepherd’s pie for dinner and the spare room nice for Mum. After an afternoon in my clinic, I met mum from the train station and we had a [...]

After a very busy day on Saturday, catching up at home, ironing and so on, I was looking forward to Sunday and going to the match. Having been caught out last weekend, I allowed extra time for the journey and it was as well that I did as there were some new road works on [...]

Having had to edit last week’s report because I had mis-remembered, I will try and get it right first time this week. (Mind you, I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t remember last week’s games! ) This week we played our first home game – though as it was our first in this pub at [...]

After an initial panic looking through the TV channels for the match, I found it on $ky1 (What was it doing THERE?!) and settled to watch. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect of this game since we’d barely scraped through the previous round, and I thought this would be a tough match – yet [...]

Monday, Billy was off [...]

Although this game didn’t kick off until 5.30 pm, I left home at 8.30 am as mum was coming with me, and I was joining her for lunch first, and depositing my overnight bag ready for later. The plan was to get to the ground in plenty of time so as to enjoy the build [...]

OK, OK, so it was the first GAME of the season – who’s counting? Our first darts game was away to the Ex Service Club – but this year there’s a twist. Roger and his dad now play for us Claire and Simon were away, so we roped in John from behind the bar of [...]

Well, as you will have gathered by my silence, and my last post, it’s been a stupidly busy week. I spent the entire time doing my best and feeling guilty that I wasn’t elsewhere. The inevitable result of having to cover at the hospital whilst Lee was off sick, was that I was behind there, [...]

You know how you can have a lovely holiday and then when you come back, you’re thrown straight back into everything and the holiday suddenly feels like it was a lifetime ago? That’s how my week has been. I had taken my business mobile with me and quite a few patients had called wanting appointments [...]
