Well last week sped by so fast the next thing I know it's the weekend again and time for our first softball tournament. We had two days of playing softball in Old Deer Park in Richmond. Due to the unfortunate train system I had to go get Krista from Woolwich as that was the nearest she could get. I was up on Saturday morning at 6.15am!! Unheard of!!! Managed to get her no probs and we headed over to Richmond. The day was overcast but not too cold and they did promise it was going to get to 24 degrees.
Unfortunately we lost our first match (really badly) then we had a break, followed by 3 matches back to back, then a break, then the final match for the day. We lost them all! Oh well it was great practice for us and we really enjoyed it and the sun came out it was brilliant weather. My boss (Andy) came down with his family to cheer us on for a bit which was great. Saturday night they always host a massive party as well, but I was in Coop so fast and heading home to a nice hot shower. I was in bed by 9pm sound asleep.
Sunday dawned nice and bright. Another early start with a bit of cloud but that didn't fool us. The sun came out mid morning and it was HOT HOT HOT! I have the red face to prove it. We ended up winning 3 out of 5 of our matches on Sunday. It was nice to actually win something! The sun was shining and the beer was flowing by the time we sat down to watch our new friends (The Rhythm) play in the final. It was a nail biter and was tied in the 7th innings, with them having to go one more. Luckily they scored the extra run they need to win. A fantastic victory even though we weren't playing. Got home about 8ish extremely tired.
Next time sunblock is a must, it was deceptively cloudy but I should realise that doesn't stop the rays from coming out. Fingers crossed all the after sun I'm putting on will calm my skin down.
We have our last league game on Thursday which is a bit sad. I'm going to have to find another sport to play, hopefully netball.
