A quiet day at home today with the St. George's Cross flying on the pole to celebrate the sweeping away of the Dutch manager of Saints. Hopefully we will now get a good English manager - perhaps Nick Holmes the current Salisbury FC manager. Sara, Tom and Mary went into Salisbury in the morning for Mary's ballet lesson whilst I stayed at home and swept, cleaned, polished and tidied the lounge, hall and kitchen - diversionary tactics for not tackling the trickier job of tidying up the study! We all had a light lunch of chicken noodle soup and rolls and I then fixed the handle on the kitchen fridge - an annoying little job which has been avoided for a few months now. As is usual, those jobs which you put off for weeks and weeks and months and months actually only take five minutes! The afternoon was spent watching World War 2 documentaries on the UK History Channel whilst also fixing Tom's laptop which needed new anti-virus software installing and generally cleaning up. After a pleasant dinner of baked chicken and roast vegetables I received a lovely phone call from my Aunt in Cleethorpes with all her family news and thanks for the birthday card we sent her. She was extremely flattered to know that we had also flown the Lincolnshire flag on her birthday. We also discussed the fortunes of Grimsby Town Football Club who had an extremely useful 3-0 win over Rotherham but still have Bournemouth FC hard on their heels with an equally useful 3-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers. I think that Grimsby have a more than evens chance of staying up unlike Saints. Tonight Sara and I watched the Da Vinci Code after finally persuading the kids that it was bedtime.
