Day 288 of 365: Curling

Haven't really had a chance to catch any of the Olympics, although I found out that some of the residents at work stay up until about 2am to watch the events. No wonder they've all been very tired lately?!

Today I finally got to watch a few minutes of the curling though with one of the residents. She had it on in her room, and I stopped by for a short visit. Was nice to catch some with her.

Day 267 of 365: It Makes No Sense....

Rugby, that is....

Went to watch the London Welsh vs. Exeter match this afternoon with Ian, one if his bosses, and his boss's family. And it was bloody FREEZING!!!

I had NO clue what was going on with the match. It's nothing like American football (which I thought it would be). But basically, it was just guys running around in short shorts, some wearing foam helmets (I called them the "special ones"), and dog piling each other.

Oh well...chock this one up to experience!

Afterwards Ian and I went to my SIL, Cheryl's place for tea and some Beatles RockBand (my nephews wanted me to play with them, and yet I only sang one song and the boys wouldn't even let me touch the guitar or drums).

Now, home for bed.

Day 203 of 365: Oh, England.....Your Football Is So Good

Watched the footie this evening with Ian.

It was England vs. Croatia and we won the game this evening. :)

I'm actually really starting to get into football now.

Day 193 of 365: Let's Hear it for Football!

Our first full day together today with Jamie and Alan.

We went for a walk along the canal this morning and looked a the locks.

Then, we went to Hednesford to watch their football match against Truro City (a team which Alan supports). It was a lot of fun, and the first officially football game that Jamie and I have been to since moving to England.

Truro won 3-2 as well. Alan's voice was a bit weak after 90 minutes of yelling.

But it was well worth it...

...and TONS of fun. :)

Day 186 of 365: We Are the Champions

You can barely tell from the photo, but Ian and I spent the day watching England beat Australia in The Ashes cricket series. Thank goodness we won!

I did, however, fall asleep for a little bit...only because I was tired, and feeling lazy. Ian said I'm a cat.

And for those of you that don't know the history of The Ashes, you can read up on it here.

Tomorrow it's back to work for the week. But Friday Ian and I head to Jamie and Alan's for the weekend....woot! Let the countdown begin!

Day 32 of 365: Sunday Morning Creep In Like a Nun

It's a new month, which means closer to seeing Ian and getting married. And now we can say "We're getting married next month!" Plus, look what the photo is this month. *sighs* Next month is Paris. I think they should've switched them around. Oh well.....the calender means a lot to me since it was give to me by Ian's Mum. She said "All your friends will be able to see the different places you've been in England." This is the only photo from England in there. Bless her.

Today was pretty uneventful. I ran like a mad woman at work. Which, btw....today is February 1st and the maintenance department STILL hasn't picked up the Christmas trees and decorations that are sitting in our activity room taking up TONS of space. We've battled some of the maintenance guys twice due to this. They're lazy sods.

Oh yeah, and Super Bowl is tonight. Big whoop...lol.
