No I’ve not taken up rowing, I’m far too unfit for that… but I have been stepping up my wii fit workouts and trying to do at least 30 minutes a day – the hardest part having to get up early so my wife can jump on after me in between looking after the baby in the morning. My wii fit age is coming down along with a bit of weight, so all good.

Last week my newish football team ‘Boca Seniors’ have started playing 6-a-side in Henley – a six a side tag now as well? – The facilities are really good on a large astroturf pitch next to the rugby club. We all agreed it was much more like real football than the pinball of Prospect Park. Maybe it’s because we weren’t doing so well there in terms of results? Even though we had a baptism of fire in our first game against the league leaders and we got beat *!@& – 0, it was a good game and I got to do some kicking and am generally more involved in the game, so much so I picked up a black eye from somewhere!

More updates on league positions etc. to come…
