PUTTING THE DIVOTS BACK

Went to the match today....

Newcastle United 1
Manchester City 3

Yet another home game lost. Things aren't looking too good for us at the moment.

My blip shows a couple of the groundsmen sorting out the divots. I'm always fascinated by them as they go around the pitch with their funny little forks putting back the divots which have been thrown up while the teams have been warming up before the match and at half time.

After the match I went shopping. Newcastle was packed - queues everywhere. Managed to get a few more Christmas presents .... and another 2 tops for myself in Next.

Neil phoned at about 4.15pm ( I was in the changing room in Next at the time) - he was on the coach heading North. He has had a great time down in London and met up with some of the friends he made in Australia. He also managed to get together with Paul - an old school friend who now lives in Paris but who was in London this weekend. They went to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park.
