Footie today for Andy and the boys....game would have been better had a ref turned up who knew how to ref! Andy got the first goal but denied a second for some reason best known to the ref! We were beaten 3-2 in the end....should have had at least a point. Both teams were shouting across the pitch at each other and at the ref, sorry Rich the Ref I know it is hard sometimes, but some of his decisions were !!!!!

Great result for the Reserves Sedge....good chance them lifting that cup hopefully!

One from our own Linda Gillard. I loved this cover first time I saw it.

So we have won two in a row...unbelievable!

Oh...good stuff Sedge...how did they get on?

A friend was down Durham way at weekend and said the snow conditions were bad so not surprised there . Nice to see you joining our thread Richard.

........ creepiest / spideriest corner Chrissy you have such a way with words..... Chilly and cold up here, but no snow...hoorah and I have been getting my washing on the line...I'm happy...although not about the large ironing pile that is growing

Glendale went 2-0 too and we were hoping for a similar comeback like last week, but not to be...no extra time this week...just as well was on the side lines again. ***************** Shakes head in despair....U'15's beaten 2-0. Andy isn't quite sure what he can do with this lot to get them to put in to practice what the do at training....! Bottom of the table Played 10.....won 0....drawn 2.....lost 8....not a good season! Not playing like they did to get 2nd place promotion last season!

Not that I know of. Our main chain is Waterstones and they quite often have 'buy one get one half price' deals on the go a lot of the time. Plus our supermarkets are always selling books at more than half price too.

...enjoy the site. There is a footie post in the sports section....feel free to join in.

Ok then...you will have to buy a new one

Result.....1 coaching session/1 game = 1 win 5-1. Wee guys in the team came up to him after saying thanks for the win . He hopes they aren't expecting it every week though. Few of the players have potential and he says they pretty much need a bit of organising and settling in to positions. The guy they had in goals wasn't their usual (who isn't very good apparently) and did a good job. He was impressed with a couple of their defenders too. Shame can't say 'result' for this afternoon and Glendale. This was the next round of the cup from last week, but unfortunately beaten and put out 4-1. Bit annoying really as they did so well for their win last week and this team are in the league below them...but there again strange things happen in cup games. Was good to see him getting to play in his old position today up front, but no goals were had for him today. See how U'15's get on tomorrow....he doesn't want any other result than a win tomorrow!

...if you love books this is the place to be. Very friendly site and you will find lots of recommendations and your bookshelf will soon be bursting at the seams

Sun is out, conditions are good.....could be a full quota of footie games this weekend. Andy is now involved with helping coach a primary school footie team this morning. This is in his capacity as Culter YFC development Officer. One of the other primary schools local to CYFC asked him to come along and found out their primary school team doesn't acutally have a designated coach so he has taken this on now too. He is away to watch them play at the moment. They only play 7-a-side at this age (used to be 11 but it was changed). I'm sure all this taking on voluntary stuff is going to get confusing and clash at some point!

Npe..but looking forward to the Ireland v Scotland

I do hope you enjoy it Athena....you may need a tissue or two though.

'Home Front' by Kristin Hannah This author was recommended by Hayley/chaliepud, a fellow member of Book Club Forum and sent to me. I'm so glad she gave me the opportunity to read it. I knew from the first couple of chapters I was going to like it and did. The perfect couple who have it all, a good marriage two children and their careers. Michael the successful lawyer and Jolene the well organised mum and a job in National Guard. But their marriage is drifting apart and could be heading to divorce. When the news of a deployment is sent this will test them all. She is sent to Iraq and with it comes danger. Michael has to adjust to home life with the girls and work commitments. Trying times for everyone. He regrets saying the words to Jolene before she left that he doesn't love her anymore, but it was too late to take them back. The worst news possible comes when they are told of her injuries when her helicopter is shot down. This book tugged at the hearstrings on several occasions, the second half especially, going between Michael and Jolene's point of view and their daily lives, until they are reunited in very harrowing circumstances and how they have to accept that family life will have to change for them all. It certainly gave me an insight into how so many families have had to deal with similar circumstances. A book that deals with, war, love, loss, grief, relationships and forgiveness and Kristin Hannah wrote about it with sensitivity and obviously well researched for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder etc. Well worth a read. Oh and I did shed a tear on more than one occasion. 4/5

Nearly there with 'Home Front'. Was reading it in bed last night and I actually shed a few tears when I finished a particular chapter... ****************** Just finished it....great read...thanks chaliepud.

I loved Salmon fishing too...but then it was Ewan Mcgregor

It is amazing how many times Enid Blyton and Famouse Five etc are popping up in folks post about early reading...

Hubby and I just been to see 'Hitchcock'...was very good. Anthony Hopkins was fantastic as Hitch and Helen Mirren good as always as his wife.

Me too...it is all a bit unbelievable though isn't it and lots of questions to be asked and answered.

Oh do read it Nick...it is v.good.

Did you enjoy Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker....I have that on wishlist/to buy.
