Clocks

So, a sporting Saturday today. One England victory (in the football against Wales) and one England defeat (in the cricket against Sri Lanka), and also a victory for the dark blues on the Thames - as it should be!

We've been doing our small part for the sporting theme with a trip to the pool hall. For the first time Jake came along on the trip, and we played winner stays on! Jake did very well, winning a few games along the way, although as always he is desperate to be at an adult standard already. Being a great player for his age is never quite enough. (And if I cast my mind back enough years, I really should be able to sympathise!)

Let it be recorded here, that in the main event I am up by 8-5, this being the first attempt at a fixture since at least 2007 - on the basis that Paul doesn't remember meeting Barley before. Goes to show it's been too long. Hopefully we will get a chance of at least one more session this year, unless Paul's plans move along quickly and he ends up fleeing the country sooner rather than later.

Watched Quantum of Solace again this evening. Despite having seen it before, I'm still pretty much in the dark as to what's going on throughout most of the film. Hopefully when making the next one they'll remember to squeeze in some semblance of a plot in amongst the fighting and explosions.

Read episode one of Paul's TV show this evening - not bad at all!

Off to bed soon - after all we lose an hour of sleep tonight. Still, no church and no football in the morning, so lie ins allowed.
