Belper 2 - 0 Quorn
Another win for Belper last night and whilst it wasn't the greatest game of football I've ever seen, the result was about right on the balance of play. My mate Joey Winson summed it up perfectly - "A professional performance from the Nailers."
Didn't take my camera - I still haven't figured out the business of taking action pictures under floodlights but when Snapper Harrison posts his pictures on the Belper Forum, I'll link you to them.
As for today - the lift from the win was welcome but brief and the return to the madness this morning brings one back down to earth with a considerable bump.
It's a beautiful spring morning if your only concern is what the weather means to your plans for the day and not if you'll still have a job in a couple of months.

Germany - pics as promised
The Hotel Zur Eich where we stayed. It's 175 years old and the present owners are the 5th generation of the family to run it.

JoJo Bowls 'em Over Again!
My niece, Joanne, has been in France competing in the Brunswick Euro Challenge - (a major 10-pin bowling competition.)
On her way to a fantastic 5th place finish, JoJo bowled a perfect 300 game. She's pictured below, taking the applause after bowling that game. (Fiance Adam is standing right behind her - I think he's checking his phone but, as they've just bought a house - he might be working out whether it's a new kitchen or bathroom! Only joking Adam!)
Pictured below are all the prizewinners - Jo is on the extreme right of the back row.On her way to a fantastic 5th place finish, JoJo bowled a perfect 300 game.

Nice One JoJo!!
Belper Town get back on track.....
...with a good win at Spalding.
Back up to third place now after what was reported to be a "comfortable" victory over a "poor" side.
Can't really comment as I didn't go the game. (I love watching Belper Town but this match would have involved a 200 mile round trip and the love doesn't stretch quite that far on a weekend!)
Unfortunately, Snapper Harrison didn't make it either so there are no photos to look at. You can read "Scoop" Oldrini's report on the game on the Belper website though (link on the right.)
All being well, the Duchess and I will be there on Tuesday at home against Quorn. Full report will follow!

Back to the madness on Friday....
....after the German trip. Will post a couple of pics from Wermelskirchen later. They're on me Blackberry and I can't be arsed to install the software on the laptop from which I'm doing this.
Reasonable trip but brought back to reality on return to the office and more of the craziness that is going on right now.
D'you know, the company I work for was established in 1792 and has survived two World Wars, the depressions of the '20's and 30's, three day weeks in the 1970s and the steel strikes of the 1980's..... Then along came the bankers.... and suddenly, the decision about whether to retire in January 2010 when I get to the dreaded 60 might be made for me well before then.
It makes me so very angry - and what's worse is that I can do sod all about it.
