Sorry!

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

I am very behind, I know. I have 5 posts to add – when I get time! I’m away this weekend though so it won’t be until sometime next week – the latter part probably, as I have a presentation to give on Wednesday.

Normal (Darts) Service Resumed

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

We played at home to the Unionist B team on Friday night and had a throughly pleasant evening with lots of laughs, despite them being a very much stronger team than us. We were losing 0-3 until Roger won his and my doubles game (My form was middling only) and then we won Claire’s and [...]

Happy Seventeenth my darling daughter.

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Today, Tuesday 19th January 2010 is my beautiful daughter’s seventeenth birthday. She was always a serious, deep thinking little girl and always took a while to learn a new trick – talking, walking etc. She never learned little by little, practising until she got it right. She just sat, and watched, and then one day, [...]

Everton 2 – 0 City

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

City were not playing until the evening (on ESPN again) so on Saturday I used the day to see a patient in my clinic and then have a meeting with one of my practitioners – which was constructive, I think. I got the ironing done in the afternoon and felt I’d earned a sit down [...]

Fighting the flatness.

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

With the weather still very cold, lots of snow still laying, continuing problems with travel and more bad weather to come, the last week has continued to be out of routine. Everyone has been skint,fed up and wanting some normality – and some warmer weather too. This week’s days at work really dragged by and [...]

Blimey! A 2nd Darts Win!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

On Friday night, we played our first game since Christmas – and I had also missed the last one so it was over six weeks since I’d so much as picked up a dart. We were playing away against the Ex-Service-Hearts (the old Hearts B team who now play from the Ex) Claire was away [...]

City 4 – 1 Blackburn

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

With our Carling Cup semi-final against ManUre being postponed due to weather, it seemed like ages since we’d played so I was really looking forward to Monday night’s game against Blackburn. I was, however, a little nervous about how we’d perform after a break as City generally don’t do well when they’ve had time off. [...]

R.I.P Schnee

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

On Saturday 9th January 2010, little Schnee died peacefully in her bed. She was the baby hamster and really, had been amazingly lucky/tenacious to have had the life she did and that’s the way we’re trying to look at it. She was the only surviving pup of Nel and Trae’s four, and she had one [...]

And today we have …
