No peace for the wicked, as they say, and no lie in on this Saturday morning as Tom was playing with the Clarendon Under 14s against Dummer Under 14s at Preston Candover, between Basingstokle and Alresford - close to the Oh Mr. Porter! railway line. The parents and players travelled in convoy the 33 miles to the Recreation Ground which seemed to be in the middle of nowehere although also appeared to be a major air traffic spot with dozens of aeroplanes in the sky. The game was hard fought but Clarendon Juniors won by 1-0. I collected quite a number of subscriptions today too. This afternoon, after cooking fish and chips for Tom and me, I went into Saliabury to buy anniversary presents for Sara. I bought her a really good kitchen apron (it being our Linen/Silk Wedding Anniversary) and replacement paring knife - she got one of these last year (Steel Wedding Anniversary) which we think went out with the peelings! Sexy lingerie was out of the question! I also bought her a an Atlas of World Religions which I shall enjoy reading. Saints won, at last, this afternoon - 1-0 away at Sheffield Wednesday. Grimsby managed a draw - they were winning 2-1 until the final second of extra time. Saints are now lying 18th - at least they are out of the relegation zone but nine points from the top. Tonight we ate cheese and biscuits and watched comedy programmes on the TV.
