A new season, a new dawn…

In Me myself and I, The beautiful game on August 29, 2008 at 7:57 am

The new 5-a-side season started this week, and already we’re top of the table after our opponents failed to show. We also got a run out in a friendly against a higher division team and played some nice football in a tight game. At half time I passed over the gloves for a few minutes and even managed to come off the bench to slot home a breakaway goal. It’s nice to get out from between the sticks every now and again, but I don’t think I’ll be pushing any of the guys for their place on a regular basis!

It was good to meet all the guys on Tuesday after a few weeks off, but not quite as great as meeting another person earlier in the day…

Nail Watch

Just got back from a lovely spa weekend in Cambridge. Spent two days getting pampered, swimming, jacuzzi etc. My wife bought me some treatments including exfoliation and a massage, but I decided to have just a massage plus a manicure. Not sure why, because I bite my nails really badly, but I thought I would get a professional opinion of just how bad they were. Half an hour of soaking, clipping, filing and painting later, my nails were as good as I can remember them looking. So I have decided to try to stop the biting for the first time in over 20 years and look after them. I’ll post some more pictures soon, and hopefully they will be a bit longer…

Torpedo TF end of season review Summer 2008

Third place was already secure, but a disappointing 3-1 defeat took the gloss off a what was a pretty successful campaign.

After a bad start and some personnel changes mid-season, we put some decent results together. As you can see from the chart above, goals for and points are up and goals against are down – so we must be doing something right eh? More consistency next term and promotion could be a realistic possibility.
