Working hard, playing hard!

Working in London today at scholastic so writing this on the train travelling in with loads of other commuters. (7.34am). People eating breakfast and doing their makeup, I wonder where they're all going and what their jobs are. 

I'm alternating between being nervous about today's meeting because stuff isn't done and then thinking 'fuck it' as there are more important things in life to worry about. Struggling with my attitude a bit at the minute. Not sure what it is, I don't have the same enthusiasm and verve I normally have and it's been like that since before Xmas. Hopefully it's just the time of year but I'm not certain

Have a vets match this evening to look forward to over at Abingdon town so that should be a laugh

On the train home now. Meeting was ok, a bit difficult as I bullshit through so much of it. Need to ensure that the action points I've agreed are pushed ahead with. Some awkward moments in reports not working or it freezing but got out ok in the end. 

I finished reading Oscar Wilde’s The Canterville Ghost and really enjoyed it. Will find another of his to read as I feel I've achieved something by doing so! Amusing book as well

Fell asleep on the train home and then realised I was in the wrong slow train. Very odd as the station directed us to it, got off at Slough and got the correct one easily enough. Although a train line app came in handy as I was initially on the wrong platform!!

Haven't eaten much today so feeling a bit tired. 

Got home and had a lovely roast chicken dinner and then simply crashed out, so tired. Slept for a bit and then had to go to football. We were playing Goring in the quarter final of the over 40s cup at Abingdon town. We had a decent team and it was a good game, plenty of chances at both ends and I was playing a combination of centre half and sweeper, I was against a decent quick forward who was only 35 and it was a real battle between the two of us, I enjoyed the contest. We went a goal down against the run of play, we were very much on top throughout, but we equalised early in the second half and then went a goal up and they equalised again. We missed so many chances but they also had a couple as well which we got away with. Went to extra time and I couldn't last, my calve was cramping like mad and then my back went. I am typing this hardly able to move, bit concerned to be honest.

Had some food after the game and then came home and did some prep for the Consortium training tomorrow at Rochester. I think I am in for another full on day which will be interesting...

Charlotte and Miles came home around midnight from the cinema and a meal at Frankie and Benny's and they enjoyed themselves.

Night night!
