Lovember: Teddy

It's that whole take your heart out, split it in two, give each arms and legs and a will so fierce it makes your own pale into insignificance then watch them go out and fly thing.

Love is a HUGE word, but it doesn't nearly come close enough.

It was such a treat to stand on the sidelines this morning - Teddy plays for Melrose and was 'away' this morning in Kelso. Charlie never really settled into the team in Melrose and is in the process of transferring to Kelso: to see him kicking about this morning with his chums and future teammates and really happy made my heart soar.

I've been neglecting my studies this week: time to get stuck back in. There's a marked TMA to go through - marked with no score: I can't begin to describe how different it feels. As much as I promised myself I wouldn't have the mindset of a good pass being good enough, not knowing whether I'm in 1st or 2nd territory and having to concentrate on the detail of the criticism is incredibly focussing. I wonder if I'll ever have the discipline to be able to ignore the numbers in future?

I'm going to have the heating on ALL day today. I heard about 'treat days' yesterday and I like the sound of those... Fig and walnut cake might figure in there too.
