The Welly Booters - Runners Up Division 5!


Dear blog,

I am a regular reader, and I write to you with great tidings!

I was most impressed with the mixed 5 aside football team - the Welly Booters. They managed to win every game apart from two during the season and as a result claimed 2nd prize in the grand Division 5 final. This, from a team that have never played together before. In fact, the only team sports the players had participated in so far, had occurred before closing time on a Friday night!

It was interesting to see how well males and females can play as a team, although I will never coin the phrase 'the fairer sex' ever again after some of the sprited play and inventive language used on the football field by certain players. Well lets look forward to another great season and a quick promotion to Division 3!

Yours faithfully,

blog reader and Welly Booters fan.

Birthday bash









Hi there

I had a great birthday bash recently (will not tell you how young I am!).

We had some friends over for a bbq, but it rained (it always does on my birthday!) so we had an indoor bbq - which actually just involved the oven. Some fantastic food was delivered by the beautiful host, and my friends went to town on the birthday decorations around our front-room (which I really wasn't expecting).

I particularly enjoyed the oragami heart-making workshop.

Thanks very much everyone!
Ian
