We didn't wake particularly early this morning - around 9 a.m. - with the sun shining for once. Sara and Mary went into town for Mary's dance lessons (she was due to start "tap" today) and I went into the village to get bacon for breakfast. Tom and I left for Southampton at around 12.30 p.m. to go to the Saints v. Colchester game. The traffic in and around Southampton was very heavy due to the football, Boat Show, two cruise liners, University open Day and shopping. We were fortunate, however, to park in our usual place by the old Carnival Cruise offices. The football was disappointing again with a final score of 0-0 despite Colchester being with only ten men for much of the match. Grimsby fared worse losing away at Port Vale 4-0. Andy who sits next to me at St. Mary's commented that he had seen my blog and I promised to mention him in it tonight. Their fortunes don't look good at the moment. We did, manage to get two tickets for the game at Carlisle on 26th September and Tom and I will be going up for that - stopping off at Liverpool en route. Tonight Susan looked after the kids whilst Sara and I went over to the Wylie Valley to attend an evening wedding function for another Susan and Tim. We met a number of our colleagues, both past and present, and spent around two hours chatting and eating from a light buffet. We returned home around 11.30 p.m. to watch a little TV and write the blog.

Another Disappointing Visit to St. Mary's/Wedding Bells
