Footie, and Some Catching Up

przedThere's at least one game every year that you play in the pouring rain, and this week was that game. It started out as a steady drizzle, but midway through the game it was just chucking it down. Fortunately it was an entirely reasonable temperature, so we weren't wet and cold, just wet.
This game had one awesome milestone: Ros scored her first goal ever! She's been much more aggressive this year than she has in past years when she's been a more defensive player, and she managed a lovely shot right into the net. (All that playing with soccer with the boys has paid off.)
Alas, that was our only goal. And since we were playing one of the better teams and our defence fell apart a few times, the final result was 1 - 3 for them.
I'm wishing now I'd started practices much sooner. In spite of me emphasizing passing and not clumping up, the team still aren't passing and in fact keep trying to strip the ball from their teammates so they can score. There's three games left. I'm hoping for one good passing play before the end of the season.
Apart from soccer, there's been a few outings. The weekend before last we were up in Sault Ste. Marie visiting the Sweetie's family. It was a low key visit, which was nice. The Sweetie had got his mom an iPad for her birthday and in the course of showing her how to take pictures with it he took my new favourite picture of me and Ros.

This past weekend, the Sweetie and Ros were in Halifax visiting his dad, leaving me solo. There was housework and writing done (though not nearly enough of either), a joint 50th birthday/20th wedding anniversary party for a pair of friends, and a trip to Stratford with other friends for a fun performance of Jonson's The Alchemist.
And tomorrow we're off for five days of camping.
