Mount Rushmore

Hi Tom

I've stolen your team photo for my blip. I love this. Your so lucky to be travelling around America and seeing such wonderful things, all while your enjoying playing football. Good luck with the footy and don't forget to let us know how you get on.

I've been picking up apples, pears and plums from the garden. All off the floor and unedible although the dogs are treating it as an all you can eat buffet. Unfortunately I'm picking up the evidence of what they are consuming, so I'd rather pick it up before they do.

Other than that not much happening here. Last night dad and I went out for a run. I had to come back as I had such an awful pain in my side. Probably due to eating before I went out...who knows. All I know is it stopped me doing what I set out to do. Still managed two and a half miles...but not very well. Dad however kept going and did brilliantly.

For the first time in ages I had a bit of a sleep last night. I took sleeping tablets and drank milk...it's seemed to have worked. I'll be doing that again tonight.
