I must say that we received some very poor excuses for no shows yesterday, see comments below. If someone could make it from Hull then Romania and Sydney are very poor excuses indeed ;-)
Unfortuantely the picnic element was a washout. It was raining on and off most of the morning so we decided to meet at the house instead. We laid the food out and then it cleared up and the sun came out. It proved to be something of a burden to get people away from the TV when it was time for the football. I got round this by using my secret weapon - the surround sound system! That made them move.
The match itself was spoilt by people laughing and joking loudly from the back room. How thoughtless can you get? It didn't really spoil anything as the match was very, very poor. Never have I wanted Man Utd oir Chelsea to score so much in my life.
We then settled down to Chinese and Indian takeaways and Dr Who. Its very odd that people insisted on staying to watch DR Who at our house, just for the surrround sound experience.
I must say that it was a very enjoyable day. I'm just sorry that the weather was not as good as it could have been at the start. I haven't enjoyed having my house invaded by so many people for a long time. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that we're hoping to do it again in July.
