Best Pal stands me up

Yep the swine stood me up, well okay he rang to cancel so no football watching for me. Listened to both games on the radio though and they were both very good. Man City were robbed of a point, not that Man united players, officials, or fans will see it that way but that's the joy of football.

Spurs were pretty well out played and lost 3-0. I know one young man that will be a bit upset but since me and him will be going to see Spurs at White heart lane early November I think he will recover soon enough. On yersell Kev. Despite being a Tottenham fan for a while this will be his first ever game so it should be fun. Sunderland are the opposition so fingers crossed for a win to get his attendance of to a good start, or else uncle George will be buying the beer all night as if that's not going to happen whatever the score is! Just in case any one is reaching for the phone to report impending child abuse Kevin is well over the legal age, just a bit of a late developer in terms of match attendance. Bless

Went for a swim this morning and I had a good 20 mins of pounding up and down the pool, so feel a bit better about things. Although many things about going to the pool make me laugh, like the way the old folks pile in early in the morning and do as much standing chatting as they do swimming. This is strange given that they are standing in little pods of 2 up to 5 all over the pool meaning that me and everyone else who actually wants to swim has the task and added bonus of performing somersaults, emergency stops, sharp turns and generally dealing with an ever changing environment.

The other thing and I do love the old folk they are a good laugh, but why get up at a ridicules time to stand about in pretty cold water sometimes up to their oxters. (If you don't know look it up I am no tellin ye.) gabbing away. Why not just go for a coffee, or stand in the car park, or swim first then do either of the other two. But they are good fun though especially when they get in to talking about who died at the weekend, and other stories of interest.

As I was getting out of the pool the aquafit for the over 50 was starting, its like a combo of dance and movement but held in water. They have a pretty big sound system and the music they play to get the folks moving is always good. This morning though I both laughed and felt sad when I heard the first tune. Mainly it was laughter as it seemed possibly the worst choice ever for an over fifty movement aquafit class on a dreich (look it up) day in Leith. I say sad but in reality that was quickly replaced by feeling uplifted by knowing good things do happen to us all. The song reminded me of my friends Sandy, Fabio, and Matt, to some extent it was also about feeling sorry for myself but I saw through that quickly enough and turned it in to a positive. So yes I know your jumping up and down shouting "what was the song" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxNEiZhpinY go watch it in good health and peace.
