2017 PART NINE 25/02 -- 03/03

Last Saturday was my Mum's birthday or at least would have been had she still been with us. Still think of you and so sad that you had to be taken from us at such a young age. 

Should of made a trip to the crematorium again however the wind and rain didn't make that a sensible option and I WILL make sure I get down there soon once more I promise and we will have a chat Mum xx

The rest of the weekend was a fairly quiet affair with more 6 Nations rugby on Sunday [England 36 -- 15 Italy] at Twickenham, and we are still be on for another Grand Slam. It was a difficult game for sure with some interesting tactics applied by the Italian side in the opening half but having come out fighting in the second half managed to put a decent score on the board as well as picking up the bonus point too. Now looking forward to taking on Scotland in the next game in a couple of weeks time. 

AFC Wimbledon won narrowly against Walsall 1-0 so that halted a run of games without a win, keeps us in the middle of the table but with two away games coming up against Scunthorpe United and Bolton Wanderers this week we will need more displays like this to ensure we don't start looking at the bottom four. 

I am looking forward to March and having some time off to enjoy the Cheltenham Festival especially Gold Cup day on Friday 17th where I will meet up with my brother Graham. Just about have enough money for this and will have to get through the next few weeks but all being well could be a fun day out. Then we look further ahead to April / May and the annual birthday fixture at Ascot.

Delighted to get a call from my "ex" too on Saturday, she sounded well and I do wish I was able to put things right here but I believe that wouldn't be fair on her and I split because I felt it was the correct thing to do at the time. Neither of us are 100% well but at least we still talk, would love to see her again and I definitely owe her dinner or something like that. For now I will just have to settle for being happy and not hating one another. 

Next time I write will be into March and so will have an update on my health progress and weight. Haven't been too good lately so not expecting to see any progress although either way I need to keep an accurate record for the year. Even if the start of the year doesn't go great we can move onwards with the rest of the year. 



Aims for 2017. 
Be happy.
