The Hurt Locker

After a very busy week with meetings and church events galore, it was nice to have a much less rushed morning today and Sara and I stayed in bed longer than normal. Nothing on the daily agenda until 10 a.m. when Tom had to be up at Barry's Field for his Clarendon Team match against Clatford Juniors. I cooked breakfast for us and, in the end, Sara took Tom up to the pre-match training whilst I tidied up the kitchen. Mary had a "sleep-over" (a misnomer if ever there was one) at her friend Allie's house close to the Salisbury City football ground and Sara had arranged to meet up with her in the High Street at 10.30 a.m. I arrived at Tom's match after walking through an extremely boggy field just before half time when his team were winning 3-0. Tom played well in the second half and scored a super goal from quite a distance out - unfortunately, Clatford scored their first (and as it happened only) goal immediately after that. The final score was a win for Tom's team of 5-1. I had quite a lazy afternoon today except for gonig down to the church with Richard to hoist up the "world" made at FFT and suspend it from the roof beams above the creche. I made myself a light salad for lunch and later this afternoon watched the Manchester United v. Crawley Town F A Cup tie on the television. Crawley played amazingly well and the final score was a very respectable 1-0 to Manchester United. This evening Sara and I watched the film The Hurt Locker which, whilst an interesting insight into the dangerous world of bomb disposal during the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq, did not, in my opinion deserve so many Oscars. We had to watch something much lighter afterwards so saw a couple of recorded episodes of The Vicar of Dibley. A couple of glasses of red wine also went down very well.
