Yesterday we played really well against Stockport.. especially the first half. The second half less so, but we didn't concede. The 4,412 of us that turned out saw a top effort by the team, in the mist, murk and rain... and this afternoon after watching Leeds being turfed out by Histon the 3rd round draw took place... oh brilliant - second to last out - we're at home (if we win replay) to Aston Villa - please please please... the 3rd round is played on the w/e of my birthday so I have such strong wishes!! Please win the replay Gills! If it wasn't a Tuesday pm in a week when I have to be at work I'd go! La la la!
All in all Saturday was a strange day - I awoke in a daze. A cosy daze. I have to keep smiling to myself. And as the weather was so very uninspiring I stayed put. Ah. Warm duvet and inward smiles. Eventually up and dressed and off to the game, my love. FAC second round - its been a few years since we got this far! The train was quiet, Victoria station quiet - well all the top London clubs were playing Sunday. It was wet and cold so a treat - a large skinny wet latte. Slurp. Heyho. The Actor was texting en route to Manchester - Stockport being his home team. Zig-a-lig and I texted apres the game. His beloved NCFC losing once again. Why do we do it?! And midway through second half a call from Oz. It was too loud I couldn't hear a word so I rang back after the game. Not good. Distance sharpens the focus. Dare I say it but Madge sums it up in her dittie - Miles Away... mm.
Next week .. erm, Monday is swimming, I have invite out for a beer Tuesday, which I should probably turn down. Thursday I am due to meet an old school chum who moved to Canada but is back for the week and Friday is the works Xmas party. And yes kids I have bought a dress for said occasion... so better get walking and eating less!!
Have a good week all...and please may I see some blue sky and winter sun this week please?! Thanks!
