Beginning Of The Year
January is rubbish. You have spent all your money on presents and socialising over Christmas and hardly anyone goes out. No-one plays any gigs, and the weather tends to be abysmal. The darts was good though and Anastasia won so my 180 sign increases in value.
So besides a few dull football matches I’ve hardly been out. Did a mini-crawl of Suttons Newtown area on Friday culminating in a game of darts in the New Inn which I won two sets to one. We played 501 for a change allowing a chance of a few big scores. We both did a couple of 140s and a few hundreds as well as the obligatory 26s and single figures. A good pub to play darts in though.
Went to Dulwich Hamlets ground on Saturday to see Fisher Athletic beat Sutton 4-2. Sutton scored within 30 seconds of the start thanks to a goalie who could not clear a back pass, and also equalised within a minute of the second half commencing from a corner. Fisher got two more goals, all four of theirs being scored by an Andre McCollin who was very pacey and should why Sutton are struggling at the foot of the table. The bar at Dulwich is at the back of the main stand which has a long window overlooking the pitch. Meaning you could watch the game with a pint of beer. Technically you’re not allowed alcohol within sight of the pitch but the ledge where you put your beer is below the window! Ingenious.
Not much planned this week. Hope to see the Saints progress in the FA Cup on Saturday, and may make a trip to Farncombe on Sunday to see Jackie Lynton as I did a few times last year. (I get paid Friday so can start going out more! Hurrah!)
