There's frozen puddles in the gutters here now.

They (we) discovered a new species of tree. Apparently it only grows on the Isle of Arran.

Lost 6-1 last night (I came on as a sub and slightly flukily scored our (only) goal with my first touch of the game).

International football this week with similarly unsuccessful set of results.

Been reading 'The Cloud of Unknowing' on the number 42 bus.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Played a rare 11 a-side football match last night.
We won 8-4 despite going 1-0 down in the first 30seconds. Came back from 2-1 down to go 8-2 up at one point. I played left midfield. David had a good game in goal.

Illusions of grandeur?

S: Do you think there's any chance you sometimes take yourself too seriously.

T: [Smile] Of course, but maybe most people don't take themselves seriously enough.

What if we do matter?
