City Walk

Brian forgot to bring his sinus tablets and spray to Leeds, so consequently his snoring was registering on the Richter scale and his breathing was loud as the wind. I managed some sleep but not enough.

Too early to get up properly, I needed to get up for a pee. There are two bathrooms at Grace's house, at right angles on the landing. Their door hinges are in the same corner, the smaller one opens outwards, the larger one inwards. I arrived on the landing at the same time as the girls' housemate and former school friend of Grace, James. I beat him to the bigger, better bathroom but in my dozy state I tried to pull the door of the other bathroom across instead of pushing the one inside the room with me! He waited a good few seconds before telling me what I was doing wrong!

I almost walked in on him stripped to boxer shorts, having a wash later. He had left the door wide open. I don't think he noticed me as I beat a hasty retreat.

Later in the morning Grace took Brian and I out for a walk in a beautiful woodland area just a short walk from her house in Headingley, which is where I took this photo. 

On the way back to hers I picked up a Subway sandwich to take to the ground with me. I realised Brian wasn't the only one to have forgotten to bring something: my bag with skin care and make up was left at home too.

Then it was off to the rugby! Three more good games but I shouted for the losing team in two of the three and didn't really care who won the third. 

Hull KR beat Catalan unfortunately. They are scary good and their fans are really "fanatical", loud and passionate. We have them to play at least once more this season and they are a real force to reckon with. We will need a very good start against them, to silence their fans or we have no chance. I said to Brian that we need to prepare for them like we would for an elite NRL side. 

The last game saw some trouble with young fans who were possibly too young to be drinking, but had found a way to do so! Unfortunate, but thankfully not too common in our game.
