Following last night's victory by the Claret & Blue army in the cup my personal life has hit a very big wall.
Last year saw me miss the Welsh Grand Slam match due to a prior commitment to attend the wedding of First Wife's friends on the same day. This was not something that she understood the importance of but, having agreed to go before realising that the rugby was on - and the fact that Wales could win the Grand Slam, I honoured my commitment.
This year we see the mighty Hammers proceeding towards a possible FA Cup final appearance at the Millenium Stadium. Having been to young to attend the previous 3 FA cup finals (aged 5 months, 11 & 15) this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Yes, I know that this would be their 4th appearance in an FA Cup final since my birth but I'm sure you understand really.
My reason for panic?
I agreed that we'd go to Devon for a week in May. The plan was to leave on the Saturday, forgetting that this was the day of the Cup Final. Now I have to choose.... Do we rearrange totally, do we leave a day later?
One definite conclusion is that, if I can get a ticket, I do not miss the match. At present this is slightly academic as we have to beat whoever we draw in the semi-final.
However, I know from experience that God does answer prayer. How else do you explain Wales' performances last season?
