Today certainly did not turn out completely as expected. I awoke quite early and woke Tom up for his early morning paper round. Tom and I, after breakfast, drove in convoy to the village of Compton just south of Winchester where Clarendon Juniors were taking on Compton Youth (league winners for the past four years). Clarendon lost 2-3 but played really well. some of the Compton Under 15s looked to be in their late teens/early twenties and made our players look quite diminutive. Tom played really well on both wings and nearly scored a goal himself. We were due to pick up Adam and Lin from Grateley Station at 2 p.m. today but I received a phone call from Sara whilst Tom and I were munching on fish and chips in a Winchester park to say that they would now require picking up from Basingstoke because of engineering works on the line and the fact that the replacement buses could not take Lin's wheelchair. I do find this surprising as all buses are now supposed to be adapted for wheelchair users. Sara phoned again to say that they had decided not to come down at all today but would postpone their visit until Monday. This means that the planned meal with Natasha and family in Salisbury will also have to be postponed until Monday evening which is a pity as I have an important tutorial that evening and will not be able to attend. Tom and I then went back home and watched and listened to the afternoon's football. An important match for Saints away to Derby which result in a 1-1 draw. Middlesbrough also drew 1-1 which meant that Southampton remain on top of the Championship still with two points over second-place West Ham. We play West Ham on Tuesday night so we are in for a really exciting game. Can't wait! Feeling really tired tonight but forced myself to prepare and send out all the summonses and agendas for Sarum's meeting on the 2nd November.
