Dribbling...

...or rather not, that's what the joys of the fan with internet access has given us.

So, rather than sitting in the local staring at the pint and dribbling incoherently into it at the lack of form...we can all type thoughts onto these screens which sit before us. 

We...or some can...rue the decision of owners...managers...the seeming lack of ability or response of players...the baiting and jeering of a portion of fans.  One thing is obvious, more points would be wonderful...we would be delirious if we were in Brighton's situation, but we're not.  We are where we are...

It's no good wishing or berating those who have put us here.  If you do that why not go back to the bad decision against Fulham from which they scored, and which deprived us of the points needed to remain in the Premiership...or the ferocious foul from Arsenal in the same season...a red card possibly, but that player went on to score against us in the game...or maybe Curbs decision to leave us.  Or maybe the then boards decision to employ particular managers who couldn't put a team together.  As said, we are where we are.

It is talked about the number of players we have out of contract in the Summer, and maybe this is a factor in our form...players don't know where they stand.  Well, if they don't fulfill their contracts now...what terms in any contract do they expect?!  The Summer will be interesting...

Do I expect Slater and Jimenez to stay with Chris Powell...yes.  Do I want them to...yes!  Do I think players don't want to win...no.  But then I've been around longer than the internet... before the heady days of council elections...when fans were expected to turn up and just watch...support their team through thick and thin, because your blood flowed with the colour and badge of your team...your heart had it emblazoned on it...cut me and I bleed for my team and I'm damned sure CP's does too!

Monday...

...was my sister's birthday(I won't say which), and though she had to work, she had a good day...and out to dinner in the evening.

Happy birthday, li'l sis!

She's also taking part in this years London Moon Walk, the full version, not the half one.  This is the night of the 14th May.  We're very proud of her, and think she's a wonder!

Closer to home I've joined ActiveNorfolk...which is a group promoting fitness in the county.  I'm starting slowly...my first walk was along the river and railway routes in Fakenham....it's not an amble(though they do those too), they pace it out...and walks are countywide.  There are also opportunities to some other sports too.  You do what you want, when you can, but it's good to have company, and an incentive to go.

Saturday is Fakenham Farmer's Market so, if you're in the area, pop along.  It's a good mix of food and crafts.  If you want to find it, it's in the Market Square...and Fakenham has free parking!!  Just pick the right car parks.

Saturday is also a busy day if you support England....you can follow the cricket against Sri Lanka in the morning and then the football team later.  My team play Bournemouth on the south coast in the afternoon...after last night's draw against one of the form teams, we find ourselves facing another.  Let's hope we can go one better, though I'm sure there will be a lot of negative words written and spoken about it all, before we even kick a ball. 

Anyway, I best make some beads...talk soon!

Another little...

...flame came into my life a couple weeks ago, and this one doesn't hurt when you touch it. 

It's the most glorious art yarn...soft...fluffy...and oh such a wonderful colour!


How could I resist it!  I have two skeins, and if I had more I'd make something to wear with it, but I'm knitting furiously to make a cushion panel.  Simple, but who needs fancy with yarn as wonderful as this!

My supply came from a lovely lady in Colorado, who I had already received some silk from.  Have a look at the beautifully named....  Larkspur Funny Farm

Some new colours...

...some older colours, and a couple of treasurys.  That's been about the limit of my online attendance for the last few days...so I share...







As different to each other as they can be!

Have fun...
