Turning That Leaf Over

You may have noticed a distinct lack of blog posts in recent times. Yes, some of this is down to a loss in inspiration for typing in here, but most of it is down to a change. A change that I reckon will do me more good than bad, and a change that will hopefully keep me in good stead for the times ahead, (rhyme!)

I've finally worked out that typing bad things in here does little to increase any bad stage that may trample it's way across my mind. It used to, but these days, it doesn't work that much. I find it much better to get out and about, even it is simply a walk to the shops or to town. Fresh air does you good, and as the air gets fresher as the darkness approaches, I find that is a more sensible and sure fire way of getting into good spirits.

What's happened recently? My initial application into the Metropoltan Police Special Constabulary has been accepted, meaning I move on to the next stage and the Day 1 Assessment. This happens on the 14th December, so I have plenty of time to prepare for it. I have a 'Team East' meeting on Monday at the Volunteer Centre, which, to be honest, I have no idea what it is. Nevertheless, I shall go down and see what it's all about. It must be better to get out of the house instead of staying in, flicking through the constant never ending TV channels, attempting in desperation to avoid Jeremy Kyle on ITV2.

In the world of refereeing, I was on the line this afternoon in a very one-sided Senior Trophy tie, which finished 9-1 to a rampant Crawley Green and tomorrow I'm in the middle of an Under 15 county cup tie, before the busy(ish) times of next week.

What does the future hold? Apart from the Met assessment, I'm off to Wembley with Father Mitten next Saturday for the England friendly against Spain and yesterday, a trip to Nottingham was confirmed with Billie, Beddoe and possibly Kettle! Makes a change from boring old Manchester hey... (joke Beddoe!)

As I say, this blog won't be updated with the horribly frequent nature it was before. I will write if something needs to be written, otherwise it's the turning of another new leaf. The amount of leaves I've "turned over" in the past couple of years is probably enough to de-leaf the local park. But given it's November, and the signs of anything bad seem a while away, things might just be different this time..
