This morning was the second morning in a row that I have officiated at the local sports centre, a five minutes' walk away!
On Tuesday nine junior schools put together teams of around 20 kids aged 9 to 11 to compete in a Sportshall event. Today there were seve schools. The idea is to have fun, make lots of noise (in a positive way - no booing) and enjoy competing in various toned down athletic events.
Their smiles were delightful, but after about 90 minutes I was reaching for the paracetamol!!
Such a shame that the government are withdrawing the funds to an extent that after three years of this event, next year it will be no longer. THat is unless someone leads the helm in encouraging the schools to arrange it themselves!! There is of course, a little more to it than that, as it will be the secondary schools who decide if they spend their funds on the junior schools. Such a shame. Such a shame.
Anyway, on another matter. No call from King's so I'm hoping for happy bloods. I've been incredibly tired over the last 3 weeks, something I've never had to contend with before except in the early days post transplant, but may be it is something I will have to resign myself to for the moment.
On Sunday I took a bump all the way down the stair...stupid mare!! Talking to the dog, carrying a big basket full of dirty washing and descending steep stairs don't go together. All bumps clear now. Stupid mare!
For those with athletics "know", you'll understand when I say that Little N is going to 2nd claim for Sutton and District. This is because RPAC are not part of the Junior League which Sutton is joining this season for the first time. This is athletics for Under 17 and Under 20 only. She will still compete for RPAC outside of this;there was never a moment when we considered her doing otherwise.
Mad Dog had to miss training and her play date with little Delhia the miniture poodle, today as I was at the schools athletics. Also, I did have a laugh to myself when I read what she has to achieve for the Kennel Club Gold Award....now she holds her silver.... NO CHANCE....LOL xx
