I had my own football games.

Winter football was back, and yet we were running around in 20 degrees on Saturday afternoon.

Not that I'm complaining about that.

It was a beautiful afternoon for some football.

We didn't get the result we needed, so that's a bit of a frustration, but it's our first game, so I'm sure we'll ease into the season.

Good fun anyway, and yeah, nice to sit around and have a quick beer afterwards as well, as per usual.

And then, yeah, I was sort of back home and get myself sorted to go and catch Sublime in concert out at Brewtown and Upper Hutt.

So, yeah,

Yeah, for a sports field afternoon, I ended up not catching any of that on TV and just catching up on that later.

And yeah, that was good fun, mate.

Really good fun.

You know, definitely one of those nostalgia concerts.

And when those big songs came on, you know, Santeria and Wrong Way and What I Got, you know, those all went off and it was good fun.

And yeah, we managed to ship the kids off for the night too.

So yeah.

not necessarily as important as having the night off.

It was having the morning off, um, which was definitely necessity, uh, for me.

So, you know, it was, it was good fun, mate.

And, um, yeah, I certainly survived the first week of school holidays, despite Karina being away for a large chunk of it too.

So yeah, solo parenting and working at the same time can have its challenges and some late nights, but, uh, survived and, uh, got to, yeah, I got to enjoy my Saturday.
