Big Fish Rugby Tour in Swansea . Fabulous rugby-playing by our Under 11 boys . Much bad sportsmanship displayed by winning team’s coaches by-way-of entering two teams separately and doing some dubious jiggery-pokery with said teams . Me-laddie getting pushed about by huge brute of a boy of the ginger-haired variety . Me trying in vain to mask my blatant glee when me-laddie got his revenge on aforementioned huge ginger brute by making an enormously heroic tackle on him thus sending him flying into touch and me-laddie going on to score a magnificent try . Magnificent try disallowed by dodgy and quite clearly biased ref . Gorgeous weather . Lot’s of freckles . Too much beer . Too much food . Too little time . Late nights/early mornings . Back to work . Off work again! . Lot’s of pain and soreness, mostly caused by a confused immune system that wouldn’t know a healthy joint (that does not need it’s owners immune system to kick in and randomly attack it and all its brother and sister joints thankyouverymuch) from a real live streptococcal throat infection (that actually does require some attention by said immune system . . . and promptly if you pleaseandthankyouverymuch) . sigh . Much outpouring of misery and feeling sorry-for-oneself . Back to work . double sigh . Much team conflict . sigh, wail, gnash teeth . Lot’s of regret for having returned to work instead of prolonging sickness leave by exploiting existing condition .
Thank the gods of mercy for weekends.

Sounds like a journalist sending an old report-telegram, Grin.
Hope you recover rapidly. Bless your laddie for his courage and feats.

Thanks Jose. Feeling much better now.

Glad your boy did good at the rugby thing, you must be very proud – so stop sighing and feeling sorry for yourself.

Thanks Zeddie. I have pulled myself together now. No more sighing.
