Oh well, I've told them that I'm too old for 1st team hockey but I was still called up to play away at New Milton for Weymouth 1sts! I managed to prove my warning right as we went down to the home side 5-1.

2 players sent off, the right wing I was marking went round me on the half way line and by the time i'd turned around he was in our D! he was about 25 years younger than me!

Mary's birthday today which is more important! I've bought her a camera, 1 years gym membership (because she keeps complaining about being over weight) and a silver bracelet because she loves her silver!

Smashing day here, had a lie in then did a quickie shop at asda's now I'm home watching sunday footy with Liam. He's got a football match over on Portland this afternoon so Mary's made him some food to eat in preparation. We're expecting my Mum & Dad around to say happy birthday to Mary, then we've got to go and pick up Liam's friend Keith and get off to the match.

Having a roast when we get home after that, not a brilliant birthday for Mary but the best we can do with all the things we have to fit in each weekend.
