Big Match Day

England v Wales

It’s Saturday 12th March and it’s big match day. England v Wales. I have to say I’m quite excited about this one. It could go either way. The bookies favourite is the home team – the English are always a bit on the optimistic side when it comes to this sort of thing but hey…

The news this morning is that I couldn’t find my specs when I got up. No surprise there but this time I had to go downstairs for my other pair. Anne found them natch. On her side of the bed so I’d never have found them meself 🙂

Chucked out a load of old stuff this morning including the green waterproof coat I bought as a student and wore when hitchhiking to Greece. Element of sadness there but you have to be tough – no point in keeping it. Haven’t used it for decades and and about to replace my existing waterproof with some new technology in advance of the Snowdonia trip.

This is how the day is panning out:

  • Cooked breakfast
  • Trip to Tesco for a few supplies and to fill up the Citroen
  • Back to do one or two jobs – not too many mind you
  • Pick Tom up from Newark Northgate – he arrives at 11.43 and is bringing his old bike for Anne to use
  • Stop off in the Bailgate to buy some spicy Lincolnshire sausages from Curtis’. They are a find
  • Spot of lunch
  • Amble up to the Morning Star at around 3.30 to warm up for the match.
  • Get picked up by Anne who will have swung by the Modern Tandoori to pick up a takeaway curry
  • Eat curry
  • Fall asleep on settee

How about that then? Featured image btw – my golf shoes anf rugby boots (not worn for a few years now but you never know…)
