Day 361 Boxing Day

Today saw us have my family's traditional Boxing Day. It also saw eldest daughter attend her first football game. It was a non league game, my home town team, Spennymoor Town. I use to see them when I was a boy and a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go, eldest and mummy both wanted to so we headed down. Spennymoor won 2-0, we then popped back to Nana's for home cooked chips, fried egg and turkey our traditional Boxing Day lunch, yum yum.

Day 291 Playing

Last week they were fighting today they are playing. It's a great sight for any parent their children playing nicely together. The house is full if both their laughter as they play with a simple wash basket. All the money we spend on toys and the thing that brings them together is a wash basket as they pretend its a boat. Eldest is singing a song and youngest laughs enjoying the boat going side to side, meanwhile I can sit and watch the footy...

Day 276 Liverpool surprises

Today is the second day of my trip to Liverpool. OH has had a surprise planned for me today, of which I have no idea what is in store.

As time ticked, she gave nothing away, except say something, then get confused and reply, "I think it's just best you do as I say!" Whatever could it be?

We set off on our merry way, me feeling a little nervous due to knowing OH was in charge. We walked past a pub where she said, oh we're early lets get a drink, so we did. 20 minutes later sat at our table I was hit over the head, it was my friend Don whom I lived with at Uni, for a split second I thought he'd just bumped into us, then I realised this wasn't the case and infact my surprise was an evening with Don and his fiancé Gina.

After our brief drink we left for our meal which again was a closely guarded secret by Don and everyone, and that is where my picture lies. The meal was at Liverpool fc's home. My spiritual home, Anfield. It was at the Boot Room restaurant. I'd always wanted to go here just never got the chance, but today was my day, thanks Gertie...

Day 245 Taking the pee

It's the 1st September which means the day after the football transfer window. Unfortunately my team didn't make any new signings and actually weakened not strengthen our team quite significantly, so when I turned I over the calendar this morning I didn't appreciate that for the next month id have to be reminded of it in the form of it showing an ex player, could be worse in December the most happiest month at all I have to out up with a picture Stewart downing whose rubbish, unfortunately we still have him...

Day 175 Football

We went to play football today and I feel that eldest daughter, with some good coaching could be a decent little footballer. However already she has displayed some worrying signs that she must of been taught by watching too much european football, firstly faking injury....

Then sulking.....

Day 163 The match

Of course today is all about one thing, The England game. This year is different, I am not my usual patriotic Englishman saying we are going to conquer Europe or the world, in fact this time round I'm saying we'll be lucky to get out our group. But that doesn't mean I can't wear my shirt and watch the game. Of course this year I'm watching the games with my daughters, youngest is looking a bit worried about the game ahead....
