Jack went for trials to get into the OMBL Rep side on Saturday and was successful. I was so very proud of him, really, really pleased.
There was at least 70 kids there and some great talents so it was especially pleasing that he shone enough to be noticed. He was the only one from Summertown that even went, but he got stuck in and he'll make friends with people there. Lots of faces I recognised, mostly coaches and parents but all the best players from the league were there.
That made my weekend which was about the only highlight unfortunately, it's been a rubbish one, we got beat 6-2 for the u10s with 6 players missing, very frustrating. Ah well, it's only kids football!

A Wicked Experience
Had a great weekend in London. We took the day off on Friday and tried to get Take That tickets in the morning but failed miserably because of server issues as everyone in the country tried as well. Wandered round Oxford St & Hamleys and had an early meal in Prezzo so we could take the kids to watch Wicked.
What a great show that was, luckily it was just up the road from the hotel so we were able to walk. It was fantastic, Charlotte saying it was the best one she's seen. It's the first time I've been at a show where there is a standing ovation at the end. Loved it.
Next day we did the tourist thing and went round Covent Garden, Houses of Parliament, Downing St, Trafalger SQ and back to Covent Garden. Jack got a caricature done with his money which we were against but so glad that he did do it as it was brilliant.
Sunday was Halloween which as usual everyone made a big effort and the street was really busy with loads of families going up and down scrounging off us! I did the music again and that was fun.
Oh, and the German student arrived. So all in all, a busy weekend!
