A Morrissey song for today and probably apt for our world at the moment although I have to say I think he is a bit of an idiot!

We are alternating our exercise at the moment. One day it is a decent walk around Frampton Lakes and the other a cycle. Sometimes we go together but Clare often sends me off on my bike to climb some hills (she thinks I am like a dog who needs his exercise!) So today I found a new road to cycle up (for locals it was Waterley Bottom up to the Old London Road) which was beautiful. The road was muddy so tyres slipped a bit cycling up. It was a narrow road; so when I met a tractor that was coming down with a great bucket in front – there was nowhere to go so I had to drop back down and climb up again! Bike and chain will need yet another clean!

Really chuffed with the Mighty Hatters yesterday-it is good to be able to compete against teams who have just one player that will cost more than our whole squad put together. Yesterday there were three players! Such is the disparity in resources and sadly it slowly destroying football.

Yesterday’s answers from the Flower Quiz 

a) Saffron comes from the crocus    b) Gladiolus is sometimes called the sword lily  c) Daffodils of course inspired “As I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud…..”    d) a perennial is a plant that  lives for more than two years (and beyond)  e) Helianthus is also known as the sunflower!
