I can barely walk. I am as stiff as a plank. I played 5 aside football on Monday night at the youth club. I am crippled..be it temporary though.

I dont play football often may once every 2-3 years. I played hard and got stuck in. It was actually quite fun and the kids at the club enjoyed it as well. Afterwards I had em drawing and making mosaics for a milli second. Next week I might get a little more out of them.

Before youth club I was in the primary school that was OK I left most of my tools, tiles and stuff there so they can work on their indivdual mosaics during the week.

Before the school I was with the mothers and toddlers. That is the strangest workshop. I dont mean that in a derogitory way, just a little weird. There was a dad there this time he was completly blathered, stinking of spirits at about 10.45am ish. Told me he was unable to hold a pencil even, as he thought he had broken his hand hitting another guy in the face! 'Its looking swolen and even a little blue, have you been to the A+E?

'No.. it will be OK'

What kind of dad will this guy be?

I had a long conversation with this young woman while she was making a flower in mosaic. We were talking about my own children and my male experiences of Home Births, sleepless nights and pushing buggies around the block at 5am in the morning to try and get my son off to sleep. I asked her where was her child was..'Oh no I am a student on day release studying Health and Social care'……. 'Oh… where's the collage then?…..Banbury the one in Oxford had no places left..Really is it a popular course in Banbury as well then?………..I talk about hats, knitting and sing 'I'm the king of the swingers the jungle VIP'. from Jungle book.

Its a jungle in their alright.
