Day 59.........a nail-biting Final, at the rugby.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

Well, I had several plans for yesterday morning which did not materialize. The church down the street was having a Fayre and I thought I'd check that out....but didn't. I thought that I may go shopping early with Ali'.......we didn't. So after a quiet uneventful early morning, I headed off to the rugby the back of 11am.
Alison had been planning to join me but had been up for 3 hrs in the night, feeling sick. Wee gem didn't wake me so I was rested enough to go. The reason for the early departure was because the young folk who were taking me wanted to see the 2nd XV Final which was being played before the 1st XV one.
I spent the time before Andrews game, in the clubhouse writing a letter to go in my Sis' birthday card.......you'll get it soon, Janette...or on your birthday.
The weather was warm and dry. I had taken several layers with me but didn't require the thickest one-a scottish rugby hoodie. Wearing my Portobello jacket, I find it difficult not to shout 'Come on Porty' due to all the games I watched Andrew play for Portobello, when he was growing up. The fact that he is nicknamed 'Porty' by the Toronto Scottish guys would have made it a bit embarrassing for him if I had slipped up and yelled 'c'mon Porty'-right?
It was a helluva game...nailbiting right to the last with the final score being 27-22.......for them-ugh. I kept imagining the final score being either 28-27 (if we kicked 2 penalties) or 29-27 (if we'd convered a try) Maybe that was the problem. I ought to have focused on one or the other...of course that would have changed things :-)
Scottish were rightly gutted and it must have been hellish for the guy who was sinbinned during the time the winning try was scored. I could never play a team sport in case it was my fault the team lost.....or in case I felt like it was my fault that the team lost, even. There was a Halloween night out after the game so hopefully they would all have gone out and made merry.
I came home straight after the game again so didn't get to give Andrew a big hug. He says that he's not too 'down' today, after my text to tell him to take Gentian, if he was.
Ali had been feeling icky on and off whilst I was out but was okay in the evening when we watched Serendipity-one of my favourites. I didn't repeat my filmfest of last Saturday night but I did watch the end of the last movie I started, then. I am watching the movies with interest in their structure and plotlines much more, now. It's very curious.....or not so much, seeing as how I am trying to write the screenplay to a good one-lol.
And on that note I'll say nighty night now.
Much love to all,
