Another week and not a lot to report.
The Duchess recovery is continuing and she is doing fine apart from a bit of a growing sense of frustration that she can't ditch the crutches just yet! The walking frame is now redundant and she is whizzing around the house on one crutch.
Highlight of the week was yesterday when we went to watch Belper Town v Spalding. First game we've been to since before the Duchess' operation and we actually sponsored the match ball so we really wanted to be there.
They know how to look after people at Belper Town - greeted on arrival in the boardroom with coffee and biscuits, a match programme and a comfy chair for the Duchess! A tremendous buffet at half time and a ticket for six complimentary drinks after the game was all part of the sponsor's package. We also got to choose the away side's Man of the Match.
A smashing day was completed by a 5-0 win for Belper Town. First half was poor but Spalding pretty much had the stuffing knocked out of them by a goal right on half time and another just after half time. Belper then scored three in the last 10 minutes.
I took the camera but had a bit of a mare! Missed two of the 5 goals. I got a couple of half decent shots (mainly before it went dark!) but as ever - Mr Reliable - Tim Harrison, got pretty much everything important in the game. His album is here:
Nice one again Tim!
A couple of mine:-
BelperTown Juniors FC were main match sponsors
The aforementioned Mr Harrison (He's a cheery soul really!)
Lee Thompson - included cos it's probably my best shot of the day!
If you look at Tim's album - you'll see a better version of this shot (I hate him sometimes!!!)
Hat trick hero RWT (Rubens Wiggins-Thomas) OK - this was after his 2nd goal but it's the best shot I got of him!
OK folks - that's about it for now. Getting ready for sausage sandwiches with brown sauce. Leg of Lamb and the trimmings for Sunday dinner later!
Oh heck! Just remembered. "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here" starts tonight. The TV schedule at Nortoner Towers will therefore be:
Strictly Come Dancing
The X Factor
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
The next blog entry might be sooner than you think. A long soak in a hot bath and a computer session could very well be on the cards!
