5-a-side

A lot has happened in the last week or two, but I'm going to try to update a bit more again for those of you who still check this site! :-)

I'm fresh from a game of footy, if that's the word to use. Actually, I'm badly battered. We started last week, a weekly game between Psychology and Sports Science. Yes, *SPORTS* science, and funnily enough, they're a bit fitter than we are. Last week was ok-ish. I think that out of the ten of us who showed, I was the worst. I'm badly out of shape and was soon puffing and panting. And it was so cold as well. My throat was really hurting about ten/fifteen minutes. I got better eventually though. Then again James "getting better" isn't up there with Pele in his prime(!) This week was a little better, at least I think I was playing better. Ended up playing in goal more this time. Some good dives, one clash with the goalpost (my leg is *hurting*) and one football in the face for my troubles. But I'm much more pleased with my performance. Not crap. Merely below average. Plus, we play on an artifical grass surface. It's a bit weird, with fake grass and fake earth. Odd, little brown bobbly stuff that gets inside your shoes, inside your socks (?), everywhere in fact. It's all over the office floor too!

More tomorrow. Seems rather un-British to mention it but I graduated two weeks ago. So I'll have to put a few photos up when I can. Catch you all later.
