4th and 1

We had Ted and Beryl over to ours yesterday. Beryl had her knee operation done a few weeks ago and is now starting to wander out and about a bit. I hope it makes a difference because she’s been struggling with it for a long time.

Ted got upset when I put the NFL Live from Wembley on the telly. He kept muttering ‘rugby for poofs’ under his breath and then pretended to be asleep.

He had a point about one thing – the anticlimactic nature of the ending. The last minute of the game took about 25 minutes to be played, and then it fizzled out into nothing. It had been very exciting up to that point, and the fact that it was a one-score game with thirty seconds left paled into insignificance under an avalanche of timeouts, injuries and clock resets.

I’ll shut up about it now. At least it was a good game and one of these days I will FINALLY go to Wembley and watch one of these things. Okay – NOW I’ll shut up about it.
