Good morning all, it's raining here and rather breezy!
No plans apart from ironing and housework today. Tom's in work from Noon until 8.15pm.
Had such a great day yesterday. There were lots of armed police around and it really must've been a nightmare for their superiors to have everything in place. As we walked back from the match into the city centre the streets were full of people walking in the opposite direction to the cricket ground, so basically three miles of crowded streets, and the trams heading in both directions were packed solid. If anyone wanted to do anything on those there would be absolutely no way of preventing it. Very scary.
Anyway, the game was a lot of fun and I'd bought the tickets just as they went on sale and managed to get us right at the front by the players tunnel. We were both chuffed to bits the other week when we found out that one of our favourite players, Patrice Evra, was coming back to play. He's a legend in our house, always a great player for the team, he was the captain and a real character, very much loved by the supporters and we were so pleased that we'd get the chance to see him play again. He was sold far too soon and never got a proper send off. What we didn't expect though was for him to come along our section and take selfies after the last of the other players had gone down the tunnel
He was brilliant, so lovely and such a happy bloke. Very funny though that Joe's made the sports pages of The Sun today and is on a few national newspaper websites, not to mention Getty images
Hope everything is ok at the doctors Jan!
Have a good day all!
