Well, actually the season on our league started a couple of weeks ago, but my first match was this morning. I was quite nervous, having not done any refereeing since May, but it was actually a really good game and it reminded me why I do drag myself out on a Sunday morning! I even gave a penalty - and made them retake it because one of the attacking players came into the penalty area before the kick was taken. And then explained to 11 players who were all saying 'But ref! That's not fair!' that yes, according to the Laws, in that situation you let the kick be taken and then if the ball goes in the net, you make the attacking team retake the kick.

Avocado...
I lovelovelove avocados. They're delicious and packed with all sorts of things that are extremely good for you! I've been feeling very virtuous because I went for a run this morning and have now just had a lovely plate of avocado and smoked salmon for lunch. Yum!

Weekword: Comfort
Here's my contribution to the Weekword topic I suggested - 'comfort'. There's nothing I like more on a chilly Autumn evening (like this evening - it's been rather cold and windy today!) than snuggling up on the sofa with a blanket and my pompom slippers.
