A great day today. Sara and Mary went into Salisbury as usual and Thom and I drove into Southampton to attend the Saints v. Aston Villa game. With no points on the board after four games, it was essential that Southampton got something from this game. The traffic was appalling in Southampton today - largely due to Premier league football game we were attending as well as the Boat Show at Mayflower Park. There were 30,500-odd attending the game today. Aston Villa scored agasinst us in the first half and it looked like we might get another thumping today - we certainly didn't want a repeat of our performance at Arsenal last week. That was the first and last goal for Aston Villa. Four goals from Southampton in the second half - two from Lambert, secured 3 points and took us from bottom to fourth from bottom place - above the relegation zone. A nice win and one which Richard will want to forget! Can't wait to rub it in when I see him tomorrow! Thom wanted to celebrate with an evening meal and so we stopped off at The Jewel in the Crown, an excellent Indian restaurant in Shirley. We've passed this restaurant along the Shirley High Road a hundred times at least and never really spotted it before. An extremely good meal - another couple of Baltis in a restaurant I would highly recommend. So on two successive evenings, to sets of Baltis and great nan bread in a lovely restaurant. We'll certainly go there again.
