Under new mangement - 0-0 Draw

Still snowed in this morning with Thom off school but Mary's school was open and she went in to Salisbury on the bus - rather annoyed, I think, that Thom's school was closed.  Sara had her hair cut and then went to the doctors' surgery for a flu jab which, unfortunately, affected her for much of the rest of the day.  Thom and I worked hard at shovelling ice and snow in the drive and after much hard work managed to get both cars out of the drive and on to the main road.  My tutorial at Sarum College is cancelled for tonight and it has been agreed that we will do a double session , with dinner, at the college next Monday.  This meant that Thom and I could now go to the Southampton v. Everton game tonight.  I worked in the study this afternoon although felt quite tired as I didn't sleep much last night and had had quite a busy day on Sunday with quite a lot of walking.  We left for Southampton at just after 5 p.m. and arrived at the car park near the Central Bridge at around 6.15 p.m.  We had a fish supper at the chippie in St. Mary's Street where we met up with Andy, John and Ewan and walked with them to the stadium. The protests expected didn't really materialise and it was good to see the fans get behind the team and new manager.  There were to occasional cries of "There's only one Nigel Adkins" but by and large the banter was amiable.  Saints played well tonight - especially in the first half - and a 0-0 draw (the first no score draw for two years for the Saints) was a good result.  I expected us to lose so to gain a point from this encounter was good.  Saints now lie 4 points clear of the drop zone.  Really heavy traffic coming home tonight and we encountered freezing fog around Romsey with temperatures as low as -8.5 Celsius.  That is cold.  Arrived back home at 11.30 p.m. with Sara in bed.
