Y Wegof Di-Reswm

Friday was another day badly affected by the weather – and affected by my ropey Achilles tendon, which has stopped me cycling and hurts now when I walk beyond 20 meters… Why is it being like this? I’m I now to be house bound as well?

In addition, although the rain stopped in the afternoon, the cricket for which I’d brought a ticket – Lancs v Leics in the Twenty:20 competition was cancelled due to the rain, the ticket was only £9 but I can get most of it refunded minus a £2.70 admin charge apparently.

To keep occupied, I brought some protein (different to my other – no simple carbs) as suggested by Marek, the physio, and a decent Vino Tinto or two for the following day’s party thingemejig. I also picked up some Ginseng for it’s healing properties… I’ve also been taking Turmeric for it’s properties too.

I also put up a punch bag which I drilled into a doorframe although I can’t really use it properly at the moment due to my various injuries. Shame!

In the evening because on the previous evening Spencer couldn’t make it out he’d suggested popping out Friday instead, it so happened Jon and Vix called around so we went out to the pub quickly expecting Spencer to catch up, Spencer being Spencer didn’t…!!

I left the house in the morning to try and watch Australia v South Africa, it wasn’t a bad game I suppose but disappointing as South Africa’s depleted side struggled to hold their lead.

I was late getting to the rest of the day’s entertainment – Soo’s annual Bouncy Castle BBQ, it’s the fault of Luke and Phil who were sorting the lift out and had gone out and got, it would seem particularly leathered the night before!

It had started at 11am but we didn’t arrive until 3pm. Handily the weather for once held and was even quite warm and sunny for much of the day. Keeping off the beer I’d decided to sip at red wine, and picked up a few decent bottles to consume.

I took Goldberg with me who as usual was a hit with the ladies – Wincey Chan in particular. All in all was good fun!

Sunday was pretty much a write off I didn’t get home till the afternoon, and my Achilles was worse – do you know when you try to stretch old rubber and it slowly cracks along it’s length? That’s how my tendon feels when I move it now – it’s quite disconcerting.

Chess – I’ve moved twice as below… I’m not quite sure what I’m doing as I’m not really taking enough time over my moves… sill it’s early on!
