......La-la-la-la-lasagna......

with apologies to Richie Valens "Labamba"

After last night's fiasco, today wasn't much better.

Got up at 5.45, despite the late night last night, to watch Ireland beat Wales in the Rugby World Cup........only it didn't go to plan! It was pissing down as well!

Never mind.....8.30 watch England beat France.....only it didn't go to plan. Still pissing down!

Went to meet the boys to see about fishing tomorrow. Still peeing down....but we made plans to meet at 8.00....even though the weather forcast is for persisting rain. Shaun presented me with the reports/assessments on our youngsters in July's regional talent spotting match and asked me to have a look.

Back home, still pissing down, three hours wading through the assessments....conclusion....the assessment form is shite and the people who did the assessments are a bunch of useless winkers! Our star junior scored 215 out of 260 and didn't make it through to the regional team, a youngster who hadn't been fishing for over a year and only came along to make up the numbers scored 217!

4.00 p.m. still pissing down
5.00 p.m. still pissing down.
6.00 p.m. still pissing down....Daughter announces intention to make lasagna for dinner.
Nipped out to Shaun's to show him the work I'd done on the assessments and to provide him with the questions he needs to ask the ADB about the process used to select youngsters.....they've already admitted the assessments procedures were not fit for purpose and are redesigning the paperwork for next year....but they still owe an explanation to lots of clubs and kids ......and a bloody apology too!

Home for 8.00 still pissing down

8.15. Lovely dinner....Lasagna followed by Crema de Mascarponi ice cream....forgot it was peeing down for half an hour.

10.30 still pissing down.

What's the betting it's still pissing down in the morning!

Das vidanya moy padruga!
