A weekend of hockey...
No, not me, the hockey, I mean... I was the one who used to hide up the ladder in the games equipment storeroom with a book, remember!!
The sporting prowess in our family is all due to dh who ran and swam for his county... giving me Sprog minor who swam for his city, wiggy Sprog, who is useful at knocking down solicitors in the wiggies versus solicitor netball matches, and Sprog minimus, who is not only useful at knocking down walls in her car, but is Games Captain, playing first team hockey for her school.
Consequently, on Saturday I jump off a plane, leap into a car and race to be in time to stand on the sidelines cheering her on, freezing, or soaking- it's always one of the two- as Sprog minimus races around a field with murder on her mind, and a small white ball (hard, extremely) on the end of her stick.
Meanwhile, am playing catch up in advance for the time I will be away with my work, hence my silence yesterday.
Have a great (fuzzy warm) weekend everyone- and think of me- red nose, blue fingers, watery eyes- you get the picture, I'm sure!
Love to all!
