I brought a laptop home to do some work, but I just couldn't; it was a weekend with too much delight - in those small spaces, the interstices. First up, Saturday - Ev was playing against the team who are joint top of the league with his - earlyish start - enough time for him to wake up and have a little vomit time, courtesy the nerves; the price of competitiveness. In the end they won 2-0, Orell scored both, and Ev was not busy at all. The opposing team's keeper was on fire, it could have been 10-0. I don't know how they got to joint top of the league.

With that settled, Ev headed out for a birthday sleepover (Max's) and I spent the rest of the day rebuilding bike wheels (science is amazing - more about that some other time). Sunday was a similar sort of thing, Aiden's team was playing in the league final for his division, and were up against the old foe DEA Tigers. In the end Stingray's won 33-31 in a high scoring game. Aiden was on form at flyhalf - and in the end it was one conversion that he slotted that the other team missed that was the difference. He didn't throw up - but was mightily grumpy until we got to the pitch.
