Today was the Christmas rugby match

We all went to Gloucester Rugby today. I was wearing my Gloucester rugby shirt with my name on, with a bah humbug hat. Blending in! Todays match was a total sell out. Crammed full, a bit squashed actually. If wasn’t with partner I’d have freaked out, I had a rant to him about the woman behind us. Kept touching me accidentally, please don’t touch me. :-/ He told me to chill out, and held my hand. It started off ok and Jen was sharing packets of sweets with the stewards.

Jen was pretty pleased and has been running around with it on, proudly yelling things like “I’m as fast as Jenson Button mum!” And “is this what Jenson Button wore when he winned […]


The time has come, finally Formula one season again.

It feels like years since the last race, but its only a few months really. The first race this year is at Albert Park, Melbourne, Australia so its on Aussie time. SkyF1 channel is live right now and was playing the practice sessions early hours. Sadly as Sky took over from the BBC I can no longer watch in bed!! Thanks for that guys. The thing is you get Skyf1 channel if you already have SkySports, or you get SkyF1HD free if you’ve already got the HD package. Seems ok if you have one of those options and get it thrown in, but if you need an upgrade to that its not cheap. Ive got the HD package BUT if I want to watch this upstairs I need to pay for multiroom which is another Tenner a month. But then that means paying extra for HD to watch on a […]
