Steph's B'day Weekend

Started Saturday with 4 hours of soccer, not that I played for the whole period. In fact I was 30 mins late to begin with and then when I finally came on, had to sub myself off twice hacking and wheezing! I assembled a decent, but not polished first team and will make a few changes but am happy with 7 outfield players plus the keeper. Stuck around to play a bit for Sash's squad and held my own physically and skillwise which I was happy with. I'll have to play more on weekends to make up for the lack of training im doing.

Rehydrated well, dropped in on Cassie for a half hour and had lunch in Fyshwick then headed home for a much needed cold shower and rest. Woke, wrapped Steph's present - a Beckham Real Madrid jersey, assembled my costume and overnight things and headed off.

I am the Cheshire Cat! My costume rocked the house. Pictures to follow eventually. Stephs partey was fun, and the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party theme worked well. Chris Wall as always had a mad costume, in this case the Mad Hatter. Steph was Alice and Bryn... needed to work harder! Ranse was lame, and Steph's friend Linda (who it turns out is training in the 2nds/3rds squad, and fully elbowed me in the gut at summer comp, some introduction) was the queen of hearts. Dilani and Charlie were also lame...sub-continentals... ;)
