Shame the win didn't come....but no disgrace going down to just 2-0 then....and runners up trophy isn't too bad... Hubby and I went (but shouldn't have bothered) to watch Glendale's last game of the season. Not asking much to win a game to a team below them...! Nope....2-0 down at half time and then lost another in the second half...eventually they found the net only by one of opposition defenders trying to clear it off the line and hitting one of our players and he put it in the net...! Was a rubbish game to be honest. They are safe though even if 3rd bottom win and end up with same points we have better goal differences, although can't really see them winning, but daft things happen. Ah well....chuck this season behind them and look forward. I actually wondered if he would sign on again as he was a bit disheartened with it all for a while, but hey ho, he gets a game, although was on the subby bench to start tonight. No word of when U'176's cup to be played yet. Fixtures and finals list up until next Tuesday, but as yet nothing for them....watch this space.

They have their last game of the season tomorrow against team that are 2nd bottom who are 6pts behind Glendale so hopefully they will pick up 3pts and be OK. The team that are lying 3pts behind Glendale still have the 3rd top team to play so would imagine they won't win that one, so hopefully safe by the laces of their boots...lol...as opposed to skin of their teeth...lol. Oh and hopefully Andy is ok for next weekend as the Culter Derby final hasn't been announced for then. Think consolation cups are played midweek, or at least his was when he was in one.

Deal Sedge...we will have to wait patiently to find out when they will play it. Also Glendale still hanging on to see where they will finish...4th bottom at the moment...3 bottom go down!

Good news to report here today.....the semi-final of the Consolation cup for the U'16's today... Result..... Culter Colts 5 - 2 Cove BCUnited.... Hoorah...chance of winning this. Our opponents will be the other Culter Boys teams...local derby. They have both won against each other...so all to play for. Just hoping it isn't next Saturday as Andy will be away to Celtic park for the Scottish Cup final St Johnstone (go the boys) v Dundee United.

Good stuff though Sedge...100 would have been sooooo good though. U'16's have their semi-final for a chance of silverware in a final this Saturday...admittedly it is only a consolation cup, but as Andy says, once you are in it (even if it is just consolation, which he has been I and they won)....you want to win it.

'Arms Wide Open' by Tom Winter Blurb 'Jack and Meredith are non-identical twins. Their father died before they were born and now they both have to watch as their mother sinks further in to the grip of early-onset dementia. Jack s career has crashed and burned, all that remains is a Maserati and a nervous disposition. Meredith s world is also crumbling the decomposing yogurt in her fridge a symbol of her newly-expired marriage. Her children, Jemima and Luke, offer little support, too consumed with the world of online dating and amateur taxidermy. One day, a throwaway comment starts Jack wondering if their father really died. As they begin to untangle the revelations, the twins are forced to ponder both the past and the future: their memories of their mother, their hopes for finding their father, and the fear of what s in their bloodline.' ********************************************************* I was sent a copy of this through Goodreads as a giveaway. It is not an author that I was familiar with, but was willing to give it a read. I am grateful to have been given the chance to read it. I felt it was very slow to start and was finding the characters a bit difficult to like, however I persevered and the second half of the book was more enjoyable. Going back and forth between past and present was a bit annoying but it was necessary to understand what the past had to do with the present circumstances. It was emotional at times and on occasions quite humorous. One of the characters is in the early stages of dementia, which was dealt with in a sensitive manner (and struck a note with me from personal experience). I think Jack was my favourite character. 3/5

Hope things all come together soon for you both...just pop in here when you can.

Thinking of the sad news about Elena Baltacha....such a lovely girl taken far to young....God Bless.

Well done not to lose...and a point is a point.

Love it...clown shoes...must remember that for future reference

...good luck for a win today.

Slow start to the month...no wedding to look forward to now. However we are out to friends tonight who celebrated their Silver Wedding in April and are having friends round for Cava and Tapas tonight. Should be a nice evening...might even wear a dress!

There won't be any footie news from here this weekend....Glendale and U'16's have no games...other teams on catch up with their fixtures. Both have one game each left to play before final placings in the leagues. Enjoy your weekend.

Started reading....'Someone Else's Son'....enjoying.

Yip.....all you need to say is....'we won'...and the score does fine

I was just wondering that the other day too.... ...but that could be the reason...

Reading.....'Arms Wide Open' Tom Winter and Started....''Someone Else's Son' by Samantha Hayes (preferring this one at the moment)

Yikes.....disasterous day at the footie....U'16's....beaten/binned 2-12 ...ouchy. Glendale beaten 6-3......that is all... However 16's still have a chance of silverware if they end up in the bottom 4, which will be consolation cup, so if they are Andy wants them to go all out to win it.

Yip...that's me....glamour on the sidelines..not. I go for being cosy and prepared for the weather. Although to be fair on leaving the house at 5.30 it was lovely and sunny, but the pitch they were playing at was down near the beach area and the haar was blowing in off the sea....was bizzar, liking going into another world...lol. 2 more games were being played and you could barely see the pitches next to us...lol.

Good season for you.... U'16's had a game tonight Culter derby, but unfortunately we lost 3-1...couldn't get them in the net...but given the weather sometimes it wasn't easy to see it! Last game of season on Saturday.

..... ...... ...... ....way to go well done

Waits patiently for news of your win...!

OMG...anyone else watching it just now
