turpsSunday always seems to be a busy, but good day. Yesterday it was the first competitive match in the rugby season. Corey's playing second line scrum now, and he's got so much better since last season. Of course the fact that he's a good foot taller and heavier than most in his age groups mean he's good in the scrum. Though it did collapse a few times yesterday, and he ended with stud marks down his shoulder. Sadly they lost both games, one try to nil the first, two to nil the second, but they played really well. I also made a mistake by going in my slip on shoes, so by the time we went my feet were drenched and as my skirt was ground length, it was wet in a foot high band at the bottom.
After that it was visiting nanna and dad, then we went to the cinema to see Mr Woodcock, which was just, meh. More visiting to the in laws then home where Corey and me made chicken stew for tea before watching some of the shows on the Sky plus.
Saturday was the parade. I saw nanna there, and by the time I finished talking to her there were no spots at the roadside and I ended four rows of people back. I was taking pictures with my camera held in the air, so they're not that great.
Houghton is a pit town. The actual pit was closed down when I was a kidlet, but the people of the area are still proud pit people. Wow, tongue twister there *g* Those are the pit banners, each ward has their own banner and it was the first time in years I've seen them paraded like that. It was a beautiful sight.
I wish I'd managed to get closer, because some of the banners are gorgeous.
Two close ups. That's our town's banner at the front.
A virtual cookie to anyone that spots Corey. He ended up pulling the bath for the whole parade, then had to pull it back to the scout hut after. Guess there are disadvantages to being the biggest scout sometimes.
Two random pics now. Milo who came to say hello as I was uploading these.
Lastly, I've been reorganising and put all the bobbleheads on one shelf. I have to admit, ten of the things together is creepy, especially the Justin ones that retain their serial killer expressions.
It's the fireworks display tonight. They're also roasting the ox for the roast ox sandwiches. Not that I'll be getting one.
