caddymanLast night was quiz night.
We lost. Again. But we did drink a great deal of BEER.
I am not quite sure how or why, or even when we lost the ability to answer quiz questions, but it was about 18 months ago we first noticed. Hmmm. Certainly the days when I personally got decent scores seem to be well in the past. Never mind; we had BEER.
I managed to remember to take my checque book with me, and paid John for the van hire and diesel for last week's move. £111 all in, not too bad, I guess. Certainly I would have been up the creek without the van.
I shall probably miss next week's game, away at London Scottish, as I intend to spend time sorting and unpacking at Whetstone. The fun will be the week after, when we play at Rosslyn Park (note: they may sound like Rugby Clubs and venues, but honestly, we're going to quiz), out in Barnes. That is going to be fun to get back to Whetstone from, being deep in south London, and involving a 30 minute train journey before I take a 50 minute tube ride back to Whetstone. I am told there is a loo at the McDonald's at Waterloo, which I may have to reconnoiter in advance, so the bladder doesn't explode on the day. Normally I would skip the Rosslyn Park away game, but we are going to be short of players, with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
romney out in Pune, and John ferrying his son back to school after half term.
What a life I lead.
Still, abstaining from too much BEER at Rosslyn Parks shouldn't be too hard. They have a poor selection.
Around 12.30 I developed a mild tooth ache which I managed to spanner with a couple of hedex so I could get some sleep. Just topped up the dosage as I can feel it in the background. I daresay that I shall have to nip out at lunchtime for Ibuprofen and codeine.
Bugger.
