For Julie Andrews...
The streets... are alive... to the sound of school children, irritated young mothers, and scruffy farrrrr-mers. Yes, Barton is a hive of activity today, and, apart from the smoking buck-toothed young mother who was walloping discipline into her child by the chippy, this vibrancy suits the town. The rain is a little unfortunate.
It's been a footballing good week on the Wexford family front: brother, having become disillusioned with the lack of 'intelligent football' (e.g. Nigel Clough, Dennis Bergkamp...) whilst playing the amateur game, began a referees coaching course. He passed his exams yesterday. He'll do well if he pursues that, though I think he'd best suit coaching a kids' team. The previous day, sister turned out for CoastalUniversity's ladies football team, she scored the second in a 5-1 win. She sent me a text reading: "Hiya.just won football 5-1 and I SCORED!well chuffed!". Made me smile.
Off out with Ms E late this afternoon/early evening. Will take a train to Manchester - my what a ReallyBigCity. There, we will dine, drink a little, and see some 'underground' theatre. Then, we will return to the BigCity - on a perversely early 'last' train. We'll stay over at GayFranglaise's house - where I used to live. He is away and hath bestowed keys. The house has a wide bath. Will be back in Barton lunch-time tomorrow for a work-orientated weekend. Will also use the weekend to check out one or two of the town's more interesting buildings that I've not yet explored.
