I'm feeling a little bleak today.. I woke up at 4:10 this morning after my marathon sleep and now I feel a little bit tired again... it's only 3:41pm... Why do I do this to myself??

My idea of an activity filled day just hasn't happened.. Everyone is now either back at university or has gone to work so I'm left at home, on my own, with nothing to do except watch YouTube videos and doss about doing nothing. On the good news front, I was given £60 for the week, as a sort of budget thing so now I have some sort of money to use, not that anyone has been around for me to do anything with and spend that money anyway... Sigh.. May go for a curry later. If anyone can be bothered... Sigh again... My first act with this money was to go round to Pinner's and buy myself some lunch.. like the good ol' days of sixth form! Pinners anyone? A nice ham and cheese panini and a chocolate muffin later, and I felt a whole load better!

My Dad has been at work all day. As is usual. My Mum went to a funeral of a distant family member I have never seen and my sister is doing her thang at university in the Valleys, so I have been home by myself for most of the day, with nothing to do and no one to do nothing with. If you understand. Ok, I could of gone to golf on my own, but that would be £15 of depressing walking wasted so I wasn't prepared to do that and to play cricket you generally need a bowler to face or a batsman to bowl at, so that wasn't happening.. Football season is nearly over and being a goalkeeper, practicing your kick ups in the back garden isn't exactly going to help, unless I get a dodgy back-pass on Friday.. hope not.. Sigh yet again...

I know I will be enormously nervous come Friday.. I was terribly nervous of making a mistake before the semi-final, with a capacity crowd of about 4, so I don't know what I will be like before going out to play before a crowd of about 300. Loads of people are going that I know of, and ok, 300 doesn't sound like a monstrous amount compared to the 70,000 of Old Trafford but when you're used to playing in front of about a maximum of 20 every week on a park pitch every Sunday morning, playing under floodlights in front of a few hundred is fairly daunting.. And chances are, I won't be the penalty shoot out hero twice in a row.. At the moment however, I am more excited than nervous... Will be the other way round come Friday evening though..

I would like something to happen today. Anything. Something to keep me occupied. I do not want to spend my whole week off doing nothing and being lazy. I want to play at least 1 round of golf and have at least 2 net sessions before Saturday's curtain raiser. That's my target. But what can I do if everyone has gone back to their working days at school/uni/work (delete as appropriate). It's slightly frustrating to be honest with you. Sigh... I've done a lot of sighing...

A bit of socialising is needed. And as for the blog title, for those of you who didn't know, this is my 100th post! My first century, and hopefully not my last!
