Friendly at Waltham Abbey

Well Dagenham & Redbridge Ladies Reserves Team had our first match of the season yesterday evening. We played a team in Waltham Abbey, who were just stepping up to women's football.

If you excuse the fact that we got lost on the way there due to confusion in which directions we were following (and the complete idiot who chose to cut us up on the inside lane) than everything went without a hitch.

12 players altogether (out of the full 24/5 signed on for the reserves) we had roll on subs, so everyone got a fair amount of play. Personally, I played about 3/4 of the match - playing in central midfield and having 2 shots on goal (one with my left which has astonished me already this season...I swear I've borrowed someone else's foot) but sadly were saved by this annoying person know as a goalkeeper.

Come the end of the match, after having had something like 24 attempts on goal, we managed to net 7 with the opposition only getting in on goal once because; at the request of our very bored goalkeeper; our defense let the striker have a shot but was saved easily.

Now as much as I like playing football...we now have a cup match against Watford on Sunday, and hopefully everyone will be recovered by then...

LOTR Obsession...

So while I was painting plaques today I was listening to the LOTR soundtrack. It became apparent to me that as well as knowing the scripts of the films off by heart (no I didn't learn them on purpose, I just have a eidetic memory and they're stored up there now...nothing I can do about it) I could also tell at exactly what point of the film each bit of music corrasponded with...

I realise this could be very very sad...or just the result of my crazy freaky brain. Who knows...you can judge for yourself I guess lol.

Blog for everything and anything...

So I have a blog for art and photography...what I really need is a blog to keep all my inane information that has nothing to do with art or photography.

Well here we go...My blog for everything and anything...well except art...so I guess its not everything...
