It is my favourite day of the week and I’m on cloud nine. Amazing for me to say that, considering the week I have had. Anyway, let us not bother with that right now. Let us focus on the most important thing on a Friday. Having a good time and looking forward to yet another packed weekend. I say packed weekend, it is relatively quiet in comparison to last weekend and some of my crazy weekends from last year. Although I had up until a few weeks ago, planned to be in Leicester for a stag weekend and the possibility of an FA Cup Fourth Round tie, was also hanging tentatively in the balance. However, the weekend was postponed for the second time and will now take place some time in March.

Let me give you a run down of the dizzy heights that we aim to reach over the last weekend of January. Well Saturday will be a busy but rather steady affair. No rushing around. I promise. A haircut is on the cards, then a trip over to Binfield, which (for the record) is no where near Henley and actually the other side of the Thames. Then I will try and get home to catch Football Focus before heading back over to Henley-upon-Thames, to catch a lift with Mr. Williams and Emma to Reading. What is on the shopping list I hear you cry? Well I need to have suitable footwear for badminton. Something tells my 1998 Nike Air trainers come hiking boots will not be permitted.

Received my first Alumni magazine from my University this week. Not sure whether to actually read it or burn it. It had Kevin Bacon (of all people) on the front cover. I suppose, being the contentious ex-student I am, I will file it away, fill in their questionnaire and explain exactly why their service is so wonderful.
