Summer (day) of sport

How hot was it today? Blue sky, no clouds, and car upholstery hot enough to cure you of piles once and for all. I got a call from the boys asking to go down to the SMU field to kick some footy for a bit, in preparation for Sunday's long-awaited touch footy game we've organised. It's been a while since we've played, and I don't think we've had a decent game since when we were all in Sydney. In Sydney, almost every weekend was a sporting weekend, rain, shine or hail. If you were really sick or injured (from playing sport), you'd stay home and watch sport. If not, you'd be out there, playing all four codes of football (rugby union, rugby league, aussie rules and soccer), sometimes in the same afternoon. But we're not in Sydney anymore, and it's hard trying to organize a game of footy, because unlike games like soccer where everyone plays soccer because it's a simple game, touch footy and its variants require a little bit more grey matter, and most people don't quite want to work their noodle during leisure time. Today, there were three of us, and a schoolboy who asked nicely if he could join us, and we ran ourselves ragged after half an hour. I am aching everywhere. But I have a very, very slight tan and I'm happier for it. So I'm hoping its blue skies, no clouds on Sunday once more. Gotta get as many games in before I grow too old to run around on the field. Not too foul if you were sick or injured and laid up at home

iTunes' party shuffle is playing a copy of: Someone To Watch Over Me/I Got Rhythm - Stephane Grappelli - 85 And Still Swinging, of which I have the original CD and therefore didn't steal music.
