Ding Dong the Rubbish Manager's Gone

Back to work this morning, so went out walking not in the best of spirits (much as I like work). Picked up the newspaper from Jewitt's newsagents this morning and joy of joys Paul Jewell has quit! Bless him, he'd lost the team weeks back so he had to go, nice to see it in print though lifted my mood no end! Now have to consider getting a half season ticket, wahey.

Boxing Day

Very tired - have drunk tons this christmas which was very stupid. Woke up deal early and did a few miles on bike then had a walk up golf course and found a few balls which was good. Janettew has gone to Derby game with next door neighbours kid who is a Liverpool fan. Derby 1-0 down but you never know. Would be funny if they could nick a goal and get a point against the merseyside millionaires.

Sunday Post

Finished off cycling goal last night with a quick spin. Did a solid ride today that would have been about fifteen miles if I could have waited for the gps to lock in. Think it was all the fog that made it struggle to get locked in. When I'd climbed all the hills up to Stanton where it was beautiful sunshine! Wierd weather in this county eh!!


Quick ride up through stanton and down throug Bloore - get a load of that gradient profile!!! Some hill to climb eh!!



Cycling goal achieved - not all tiny little rides - that's what a cold and Christmas does for you!!

We managed to skank a draw with Newcastle but a point is worth next to nowt really. If we had a just slightly better defence we might be in a much better position that we are but you just know every time you watch the Rams that we are going to concede a stupid goal at some point and we managed it twice yesterday. Am just hoping we don't make any stupid buys in January that we have to let go for next to nothing at the end of the season.

First of December Already?? I don't believe it...

Impending Older-ness Beckoning
Blimey, less than a month and I'll be bloomin 40. Don't believe that either.

Bike-less but Cycling Goal Met
Never mind, have done something a bit silly this morning both bikes are in for repair. Want the left-hand pedal taking off the Incognito and need to get rear derailleir fixed on the Giant so I can get past third gear!! Have met the revised Cycling goal which means a full house of exercise goal achievement this week - finished three gym attendances last night - 20 mins at 10.5 again which comes out about 3.5km, couldn't do much on rower as it was working right but did loads of weights instead which is good cause I don't really enjoy weights if truth be told.



Running looks the likely Solution
In absence of bikes I reckon that am going to be doing a bit more running over next couple of days. Hopefully Lumbards will have at least one of the bikes fixed early next week, certainly hope so.

Golf - Fur and Feather - Xmas Fayre Comp - 38 points okish
Said it'd all go wrong after so much good stuff in Winter League! We did 17 points on front nine which was poor but a steady 21 points on the back nine off a three quarter handicap better ball format. So 38 points at the end wasn't bad. Just a shame we didn't do a bit better on the front nine and we ought to have finished off with a par on the last hole after both of us got on in regulation and then three-putted. Anyway in a few weeks we'll know what we got! Terry and George the guys we played with got 36 points and someone in the clubhouse said they got less than par so it might be better than we think! We play Terry and George next Saturday in winter league.

Couldn't resist.

Just had a quick look at football results to see what happened yesterday so thought I ought to make a note online that currently Derby are sitting higher in the Premiership than Manchester United! We rock!!! I know it's early days and we have the same number of points and all that, but it might not happen again for a while!!!

Look what I got!!

How cool is this - a Season's worth of the finest side in the East Midlands playing and beating loads of the Country's top footballing sides! Woohoo! Come on you Man Utd let's see yer!

Have sent off me subs for the DCFC Ashbourne Supporters club this morning so have nothing to organise for next season. Have given season tickets to Nephew for first game vs Portsmouth as I'm going to be in red hot bestest place in the world Mallorca!!
