First day of Spring?

Well it felt like it today and for the first time the moods of winter darkness disappeared to a brighter mood all around. Due to the amount of freon on the planet we still don't know if its not gonna be fashionable for snow in april, but for now you would swear it was spring, at last.

Last week seemed to be the longest week ever but today just sped by, heading towards my impending date of conception of course where nothing is planned.And why should it be, middle of the month and basically a hypocrisy to celebrate after all I never celebrate the others.

What has been planned is the 3 day tour of London to play the London Welsh. With a player troop of 24 from Sweden, 1 from France and 4 who are based in London it will be something to remember. Unfortunately our ever faithful team Manager can't make it due to his mother turning the 70 mark so I'm not only in charge of the battle but also the planning of the trip. So far so good anyway, with an entire guesthouse booked for Team Sweden Rugby (no other guests..) and the flights already booked as well. Our South African capped coach will be coming in to reaffirm what forward play is all about and I will be dealing with the backs again.There is a lot of work and planning to be done in a very short time but I'm sure the trip will do us a lot of good and of course will solidify the team for our next two tests.
There is no doubt that it is a privilege to be involved with such a squad of players who work hard to retain their position, not only through their technical skill but also their strength in character and ability to be a team player.It's not always plain sailing and sometimes you have to have respect for someone and not necessary like someone in close quarters but still have the same goal.

I'm on RICE now again, *suck*

The left hamstring is basically pulled or torn and there is no miracle treatment apart from R I C E.Worst part is that even stretching isn't the way to go. Looks like the "Gas" may be getting too much for the rest to keep up, but I'm sure a course of Tai Chi or Yoga would help, just not now..

Talking of injuries, a friends knee got swollen to hell on saturday and very hot so just to ensure she would be better she decided to go shopping on the sunday..Amazing...I had to meet up and supply the Volteraine perscription drugs AND hang around as she did her shopping..sometimes the quest for the ultimate top or shoes seems too much.
