Sat & Sun Days

On Saturday we went for the bike ride, and combined it with a few things from Tesco’s, carbon neutral shopping, go us! The rest of the day, was back to resting. I don’t think I have every (well at least since I started working) spent 3 days just relaxing. Obviously when you go away you relax, but in terms of being at home and just resting it feels like a first.

Its interesting that even when resting I still need to plan, so I have most of 2009 mapped out! We need to find out when Belle’s graduation, other than that though we are planned, with regular breaks through until next Christmas. It feels like being in control. This time last year I was in the unknown, out of control wilderness of unemployment. I don’t know why I crave control, but being able to plan has a nice feeling about it.

I know what holidays will (or are allowed to) cost, when they will be, what weekends away we will have, when and again how much. It means that everything is budgeted for.

Not knowing when you will next get paid is a horrid feeling, however being a control freak and a person who has had a financial model for over 15 years its is almost unbearable!

So, this is such a better Christmas break, if only I could get rid of this cold!

Sunday was football day, and after going to bed at 2am I was glad I had set my alarm for 12:00.

The reason for the late night was that I was downloading music (legally). I have found this great web site, which is based out of Russia, and gives you Music tracks for just 9C, and its legal. I have got the full Moody Blues and Terry Oldfield back catalogues + a dozen other albums for under £30, try it out at www.leagalsounds.com

We scored early, then stopped for 50 minutes, scored again, stopped and again, consided and then hung on. Not the best game, but another 3 points, and you have to question if MK and Posh can hang on for much longer.

Martin – 4 – Again the ginger boy from L1 looked at risk every time the ball cam near him. He has the need to punch or slap the ball away, when a good catch would be much safer.
Gilbert – 6 – Ok, not much more to say
Morrison – 5 – Not as secure as you would have wanted, poor distribution
Hobbs – 7 – Strong and secure, still looks scared when he has the ball at his feet, but today he held the defence together
Berner – 3 – Rubbish, when we was sub’d 5 minutes before half time, I hoped it was because he was playing so bad.
Mattock – 5 – Anyone would have looked good after Burno, but Mattock looked what he is short a match time.
Davies – 7 – Showed pace and was great pushing forward, however he does not play as a right winger, which makes us very lopsided.
King – 7 – Finally I have seen 2 or 3 games were King plays well contributes, and scores.
Oakley – 5 – Jackal and Hyde performance again from Matty, needs to be more consistent
Dyer – 6 – good going forward, however not much tracking back
Fryatt – 6 – Didn’t score, but set up Howard and when taken off at half time had done little wrong.
Dickov – 5 – Not the Wasp we remember
Howard – 8 – Good flicks, and scored again. He is a lump, but at this level he is a good lump!

Home via Sainsbury’s which was closed! And another restful evening. Tea was nice with yet more Christmas pudding and cream, and before that Veal. And before anyone gets upset, it was Waitrose, traceable, not feed in crates Veal, and it was very nice.

Tomorrow is shopping in MK, so lets hope people are back at work!
