Weekend
Teenage Me Really Did Know Best
I look back on my teenage years with the same mixed feelings as everyone else does – some wonderful, toe curling embarrassment (largely hair related), some minor shame (social faux pas and spats with my fellow teenaged friends) and mostly just relief that I got through my teen years relatively unscathed (and with better hair).

Last Game of the Season
Today the Romans played their last game of the season, we lost 22-17 and will now be shunted back down a division but hey ho, worse things happen out at sea. I’m just sad that though NFL Sundays are due to start again imminently and our End of Season party will be sometime next month […]

So far this season we lost 3 games in a row and tensions were running high, the guys were bickering among themselves and it was breaking my heart to think that they weren’t even friends […]
Cartoons and calamities
Having the best kind of Saturday morning, the kind that starts with superhero themed loungepants, a cup of tea and the Cleveland show on tv.
