The Lucky Thousands

On the bike today. L assures me she has closed and tested the gate when she left home.

The new football fixtures arrive, a day early. I put them in the diary but don’t really study them. It all seems eons away.

The 'lucky' thousands head off to Glastonbury although L does point out how horrible is looks. She says she’s glad we're not there. I does look terribly muddy, I think we got lucky last year.

Tonight it's Dog training and then a pint in the Masons later which isn’t dark, of course.

125th Anniversary

L is in London today, so I walk the boys. I think this bored MD a bit as we didn't see anyone to bark at. Then I get the bus into work as I plan to run afterwards.

The football fixtures are out and Derby get a opening home game against Blackburn Rovers. This has been ‘engineered’ by the Football League to celebrate this 125th anniversary. 

Both clubs were founder members of the league back in 1888-1889. Similarly Burnley and Bolton Wanderers will face each other. Unfortunately for us this means the attentions of Sky TV and a Sunday 4pm kick off. Well at least it’s not the dreaded Saturday 5:15 slot.

It’s really hot so a short jog to Chaddesden leaves me sweating but thankfully the bus driver still let me on. I get off in Stapleford and run the five or so miles home from there. Its goes relatively well but it was only a small distance.

L gets back from London just after I get home, wearing a very sassy summer dress. In some ways it seems a shame to have to remove it.
