Today is the day that my car driver window went down and would not go back up. This meant that overnight I had a teatowel hanging to try and stop rain coming in and then today a lovely drive up the M3 for an hour with something resembling a gale blowing in the car. The webmaster for AFC Hornchurch sent me a nice email saying he liked the photos and would be using some of them in the programme or website.
I have just realised that the mediterannean gentleman who came with his wife and another child to pick up their daughter from West End Stage summer school in August for a whole week each day ( if you look back amongst the older posts you will find something i posted in august about this) was in fact Figo. He looked sort of familiar but it didnt click until my son told me who he was in an advertisement we saw on TV. Just having googled Helen Svedin, there is no doubt that it who they were! mind you they kept themselves to themselves and did not speak to anyone. Strangely my wife and daughter are totally not interested in this really important information!!
A very happy start to the weekend. Bees were quite injury depleted and yet gained a great away win. I woke up this morning and considered going but still feeling rather sleep deprived decided to go to a non-league game locally. Met Police v AFC Hornchurch. The curious thing is that I made the game decision based on the fact that there were a few games to choose from locally but a large Met police van with at least 7 officers inside drew up outside the house about 1 pm. As usual they went to the house opposite where they have paid many visits, would love to know why, looked at the front of the car and knocked on the door. Anyway, reports suggest Brentford played well. Donaldson, who is nicknamed Donalddinho, scored and it seems we defended well afterwards and are now 4th. Did I tell you that Bees sold Charlie Macdonald to MK dons?
But Met Police was a great game, they lost 2-0 to a fairly physical side. Photos below. You can see one where clearly they should have had a penalty with the shirt being pulled. The ballboys on the stand roof are a novel one for me. The spitting out of lucozade was interesting. I was talking to that players father at half-time. He was telling me that he played for Southend and Woking but came to Hornchurch to play first team football.
Hedgepig was having a friendly day and actually came out on Elena’s lap. A positive manic episode.
We had a look on the map to see where Honduras is. Real central America. Are you sure it will be safe there? How long will you be there for?
Yasmin took Charles back yesterday as having landed and got to sleep around 4 am,I had to be in work by 9 am. Her reward from your mother was a massive marrow and a massive portion of apple crumble. An exceptionally nice crumble that lasted only a few hours before being eaten.
Bolt seems a little out of sorts. not sure why (Bolt is our tabby cat for any readers) and may be heading for a vet visit. The only other news of note is that the window in the car will not close and needs Gary’s attention. A real pain as I cannot open it and if it slips open I have to physically pull it up to shut. This as you can imagine got me strange looks in the Met Police car park! The whole place stacked full of police officers. Enjoy the photos below!
