An early morning today as we had to get Adam to St. Mary's Stadium for his Open University examination which would start promptly at 10 a.m. After dropping Mary off at her friend's across the road, Adam, Sara and I drove into Southampton. The traffic was very kind to us and we got to St. Mary's just after 9 a.m. We saw Adam safely to the examination room and checked that he was registered to take the paper. Leaving him to have a cigarette we went to the Megastore and bought the new season's commemorative 125 years shorts for Tom and me (see photo above of one being worn by our latest signing from Brentford, Ryan Dickson). Whilst at St. Mary's, I also used the opportunity to renew our season tickets - saving £95 by doing so before the end of June. Sara and I then walked to West Quay where we sat and had a leisurely coffee in Costa Coffee. Sara went for a wander around Marks & Spencer leaving me to sit in a soft armchair reading some more of Lucas/Plass's Seriously Funny. We strolled back to St. Mary's and met up with Adam who thought the exam went well. We had lunch at the chippe in St. Mary's Street used by Tom and me on match days. We were welcomed by the Bangladeshi brothers who run the shop - they shaking hands with us and asking after Tom. After a well portioned lunch of cod and chips (fishcake for Adam), we wandered back to the car and drove back to Winterslow in time to pick up Mary from school. Adam and I then drove into Salisbury and went shopping- visiting the Cash n' Carry, Sports Direct and Tesco's. Adam bought an enormous quantity of sweets for his pupils. We had a barbecue tonight - the weather remaining so warm - after which Adam and I strolled down to the Lion's Head to join Chris and Richard for a couple of pints. A really lovely evening with great conversation. I was so pleased at how Richard and Chris made Adam feel so welcome (one of the lads) with good natured banter - some at my expense of course - just as they had done when Sara's father had sat doiwn with them a year ago. Its wonderful to have such good friends and such a well humoured brother-in-law.

A Day in Southampton with Adam/Season Tickets Renewed
