saw Bridesmaids at Hoyts Belconnen, very very funny!

Saturday

played Tuggeranong at Amaroo in pretty good conditions although there was a bit of a cross breeze...

our first quarter cost us as they kicked four unanswered goals...in fact we didn't score in the 2nd quarter either as they add 1.4 to lead by 34 points at halftime...

I was switched from the ruck where I'd been winning my fair share to play at centre half forward to act as a target for our centre clearances...it worked as we kicked four goals...for the second time I kicked more than one and ended up with three...they added 1.1 to lead by 17 points...

they switched their best attacking player into the halfback line to neutralise me but it also snuffed out their attack as they only kicked another 0.2 to win by 19 points...

I came through the game fairly well except I injured my left ankle in the 1st quarter - innocuous really as I was just running back in defence and felt my ankle "crunch" (i.e. I didn't roll it either way)...I limped for the rest of the game and iced it a couple of times afterwards...I also copped an accidental chop to the throat in the 3rd quarter which left me momentarily unable to talk!

last night was Tim's 40th birthday dinner, just over three weeks late, which he cooked...quite a lot of tasty food was had...!

today

was planning to go for a run but my ankle still didn't feel right and it was too cold anyway!

hopefully it will be OK for cycling, gym and footy training tomorrow...
