Wood chopping, hockey and babysitting.

Early start this morning, as I had plenty of work to do in the garden. Moving a woodbunker, and then sorting and chopping up logs for the fire.

This afternoon I was playing hockey, but our 11th man did not show up, so we only had 10. This was ok until about 10 minutes into the match, when one of my team mates got hit on his hand by a stick, and split his finger open quite badly. After practising my first aid skills, then sending him off to hospital, we resumed the game down to 9 men. Despite a valiant effort, against a full side, we ended up losing 2-3, not bad considering we failed to convert a penalty stroke which would have made a draw.

Had to dash back home after the match as Alex, the heating engineer, was calling to have a look at our combi boiler. No good news from that visit, as we now have it confirmed that our boiler is not working properly, and will need replacing soon.

We are doing a favour for some friends, and are looking after their 5 month old daughter, Libby, overnight. They arrived at about 4pm to drop her off, and so far she has been crying for about 2 hours non-stop! Hopefully she will stop after she has had her bottle, otherwise we will not be getting much sleep tonight.

Nothing else planned for tonight, just a relax in front of the telly, and a fairly early bedtime, as I have to be up for the motocross duty in the morning.
