Another incredibly busy day in Salisbury - meetings scheduled for the whole of the day. Unfortunately, although I had good intentions, I didn't get up until just before 7 a.m. today. I had planned to have another early morning swim but realised that it would be too late to get that in and get a parking space at the office. Without any breakfast, and after just the usual cup of tea, I drove into Salisbury after ensuring that the refuge collection bins were out. Nothing really remarkable today with me never leaving the office. Even lunch was a few company-paid for sandwiches - nothing remarkable with hardly enough to go round. How things have changed! I was determined to have my swim so immediately after work went to the Five Rivers Leisure Centre again and spent 30 minutes in the main pool followed by a refreshing shower. I also booked an induction course at the gym for Thursday 16 April. A really enjoyable diversion after such a stuffy day. Getting home at 7.15 p.m. I had just enough time for a hot cross bun for supper and phoned the Water Margin at North Baddesley to organise a table for the lunch buffet for Sunday for us and the Russells who will be passing through on their way to Worcester. House Group this evening was at Klynn's with just him, me and Rosemary. We discussed last week's film, The Grand Canyon, and Klynn prepared some good notes as to why there were, indeed, several Christian messages within it. After Rosemary had gone Klynn brought out a bottle of excellent whisky and we drank a couple of glasses each. We discussed the state of the world's economy and the future prospects for Southampton Football Club whose parent company announced that it had gone into administration today. The Football League will consider, on Tuesday, whether this constitutes the administration of the football club itself with a resulting 10 points deducted either this season or next. Either way, it would mean League 1 football next season. It seems to me that even if it didn't constitute administration of the club itself, the cutting off of money from the parent company would lead to the inevitable downfall of the football club which would cease to exist. Southampton without a league football club is unthinkable and very worrying. No wonder we've heard nothing about renewing our season tickets this year. I will see what our fellow fans think of the situation when we go to the game against fellow strugglers Charlton on Saturday.

Thursday's Spirit
