May Weather ....

... and I'm NOT talking about Floyd - or even "Junior" (if you're already lost - Google it ! ) .... last Sunday at Wembley Central it was brilliant (unless you were trying to take photos - the light/shade split at Wembley is a bit of a pain !) ... thence to Monday at Curzon for the Vodkat Final - read all the boards ... I have to agree, it was (with the "wind chill factor") almost sub-zero (and I'd taken gloves/heat pads out of camera bag - it is mid-May for Frith's sake !). Since then the gale force winds have continued - witness tree damage at the bottom of our street ....




... and it's still bloody raining far too much - it's just like Dec/Jan/Feb - when you start to make sure you have the necessary contact phone numbers, just in case. Tomorrow should be Stockport Georgians v Pennington in the Manky League - fortunately with the Stockport train connection, I can check this one out knowing that (same league) there is Chapel Town v Elton Vale (that's Chapel as in Chapel-en-le- Frith) - also possible by train from Stockport ...

Tonight (with Mrs Smiffy being "out"), I'd thought about nipping up to the "Railway" @ Greenfield to watch a bit of the MK Dons v Scunny match .. but the weather said "Naaa" !!! It's 0-0 @ half-time according to "interweb scorecentre stuff" - I'll keep an eye on it whilst watching "Thunderbirds" on SCI FI + 1 !!!

Plus it's time I put together "my day" last Sunday ...

Snappers call it "Dutch Tilt" - the road actually slopes up from left to right :-)
